π Hello Hornet Families,
How about those KC Chiefs!? What an exciting week leading up to Sunday evening. Thank you to all who participated in our Chiefs spirit week. It was great to see students and staff so excited about the "big game"! The district has announced that there will be NO school this Wednesday, 2/14, for students and staff due to the KC Chiefs super bowl celebratory parade taking place in KC, MO.
We are excited and looking forward to seeing families at conferences on Thursday and Friday this week! If you need to change your time or reschedule, please contact the main office at 913-627-7000.
π Reminder: Don't forget to send FA (conference) notes back to school! We look forward to seeing families at Family Advocacy (Conferences) on Thursday and Friday.
Have a great week!

Sick Child Pick Up! Please note the following from the KCKPS Parent/Student Handbook...
- Please update your contact information and designate an emergency contact in case a child becomes ill while at school. Due to the pandemic, sick children must be picked up within 45 minutes of being identified as being ill to avoid exposing others. Parents should have a back-up plan if they cannot pick up their child within 45 minutes.
From the Front Office:
Reminder: Transportation changes must be reported before 2:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Early pick ups will not be permitted after 3:30 p.m. and 1:30 on Wednesdays. At that time, we are relocating to our dismissal spots.
Thank you!

Attendance Reminders
A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. Did you know that after 3 unexcused absences, the truancy process begins? Each absence after 3 absences needs a doctor's note. You can call our Attendance Secretary (Ms. Crystal) directly at 913.627.7007.
Please make sure your student(s) are coming to school everyday! If your student is ill or will need to be absent, please call the front office. Students who after 9:07 a.m. will be counted tardy. You will need to walk your child into the office to sign them in after 9:07 a.m.
