The Compass Notes for Families

Dear Compass Families,

We’re wrapping up MAP assessments in grades 3–5 and continuing to work on end-of-year assessments across grades K–5. We’re proud of the hard work our students are putting in and appreciate your continued support at home.

As we head into the final weeks of school, we have many exciting events and celebrations planned! Please keep an eye out for updates from your child’s teacher and the school—there’s a lot to look forward to as we close out a fantastic school year together.

Mr. White and Mrs. Page

Visitors to the building: you will always need to bring your ID with you when you come into the building. We will scan your ID into our safety system Platte County uses to ensure the safety and security of our students.

We are doing Field Day differently this year. 3-5 will have their Field Day at Compass outside, doing rotations from 9:00-11:30. K-2 will also have Field Day on May 23 from 12:10-2:40. We will need and love all volunteers that can help!

Look for a sign up genius link to come soon from Coach Smith & Coach Ruffcorn.

We want families to stay connected to all Compass information. We invite you to use the buttons below to visit our social media and platforms.

PLEASE PLEASE, if you have a student that will be absent, please email ALL office administrative assistants (beall.andrea@pcr3schools.org, tyler.julie@pcr3schools.org & schultz.dawn@pcr3schools.org).

YMCA Y-Club enrollment is underway for the new school year!

The Before and After School Program available to families in the Platte County R-3 School District is Y Club. With Y Club before and after school, children in kindergarten through 5th grade will enjoy and benefit from homework enrichment, physical activity, and small and large group activities with a focus on building community and youth voice and leadership. Full-time and part-time Y Club is available at Compass, along with Y Club on days when school is out of session for inclement weather, seasonal breaks, and other days off (enrollment permitting). Operating hours are each weekday from 6:30 a.m. until school begins, and again after school until 6:00 p.m.

Spots are limited so please complete the 24-25 Y Club Enrollment Form at KansasCityYMCA.org/Yclub to secure your spot.

If you have any questions about the Y Club program, please contact YMCA at 816-360-3390.
