Water Education Program
Learn about responsible water use
Welcome Parents & Guardians
Your child is participating in a water education program designed to help students understand where their water comes from, how it is used at home, and why conservation is important in our region.
Through classroom lessons, hands-on activities, and a take-home Water Conservation Kit, students learn practical ways to reduce water use and share what they learn with their families.
This program is made possible through the support of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District #1, and is provided at no cost to participating schools and families.

What Your Child Is Doing in Class
During the program, students:
- Learn where our local water comes from
- Explore how water is used in and around the home
- Understand why conservation protects our rivers, aquifers, and future supply
- Practice identifying simple actions that save water every day
- Prepare to apply what they’ve learned at home using their Water Conservation Kit
Each lesson builds toward real-world action, not just awareness.
Water Conservation Kit (Take-Home)
Each student receives a Water Conservation Kit to take home and use with their family.
The kit includes water-saving tools designed to be easy, safe, and family-friendly. Students are encouraged to install or use the items with an adult and then reflect on their experience through short online activities.
👉 Installation help and videos are available to walk families through each item step-by-step.
Adult supervision is recommended for all installations. Installation may vary depending on your home’s fixtures.
How Parents Can Support Their Child
You don’t need to be a water expert — small conversations and simple actions make a big difference Parents can help by:
- Talking with your child about what they’re learning in class
- Helping install or use the Water Conservation Kit items
- Watching the short installation videos together
- Encouraging your child to complete their online activities
- Looking for easy ways your household can save water together
These shared experiences help reinforce learning and build long-term conservation habits.
Student Contests
Students may choose to participate in optional program contests, including:
- Video Contest – creating a short PSA sharing what they learned about water conservation
- Photo Contest – showing conservation actions at home
Participation is optional, but encouraged. Contest prizes include Amazon gift cards.
