Kutz 4 Kidz supports homeless, low-income families, and students receiving free or reduced lunch, with a special focus on African American students and those facing economic hardships.

Let Ms. Simkins or Mr. Smith our counselors know you are interested.

• Each week students have been enjoying a new addition - Video Announcements! Students get a message from Principal Stilwell, hear from students regarding our core value focus, and singing of our school song and a few other things. On Tuesdays Principal Stilwell loves to give shout-outs and then on Fridays winners for the PAWS drawing are announced! These Friday awards are for students earning their stripes by being Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Kind. Lots to celebrate and now we are adding the i-Rocked i-ready , Imagine Language & Literacy and Attendance awards!

• We are bringing back Coffee with Principal Stilwell and adding a new evening version ... Pop in for Popcorn with Principal Stilwell! These are informal, spaces to connect with me, Mrs. Stilwell 😀
