Spring Conferences - March 12th & 13th (Broadway building)
Spring family conferences will take place after school on Wednesday, March 12th and all day Thursday, March 13th. We expect 100% participation in conferences, so please reserve time for this important check-in regarding your student's progress! Please find your teacher's signup here and reserve your spot as soon as possible.
There will be no CampFire on Wednesday, March 12th, so that all classrooms can be used for conferences. Additionally, we ask that all families pick students up at 1:50 pm dismissal time so that all staff can be active in conferences that afternoon. Thank you!
There will be no school on Thursday, 13th or Friday, March 14th, and Spring Break is the week of March 17th-21st.
Spring Open House - Wednesday, March 12th
Our Spring Open House is coming up, and we’d love your help in spreading the word! If you know friends, neighbors, or colleagues who are looking for a school for next year, invite them to come see what makes Citizens of the World such a special community this Wednesday, March 12th from 6-7 pm.
Since the open house is being held during conferences, it's a great opportunity for prospective families to tour our school, peek inside classrooms, and learn more about what makes our community unique. This is also a great chance for students who are moving from Operation Breakthrough to the Broadway building to come check it out!
Your firsthand experience as part of our community is the best way to help new families find the right fit - if you see a family touring while you're in the building for your family's conference, please stop and say hi!
Additionally, we're already running waitlists in multiple grades, so if you know of anyone wanting to apply, please encourage them to fill out at the application at SchoolAppKC as soon as possible!
We appreciate your support in welcoming new families and sharing the heart of our school!
March Food Pantry
The March Food Pantry will take place during conferences on Wednesday, March 12th from 3:30-8 pm and Thursday, March 13th from 8am-8pm! Come shop for food items such as canned veggies, canned fruit, select fresh veggies or fruit, boxed meal items, snacks, and laundry detergent!

2025 Family Survey
Every spring we seek input from our current families to learn what is working at Citizens and what needs improvement. We intentionally reflect on this feedback and make adjustments as needed. In addition to this family survey, our 3rd-8th graders and staff members will be completing similar surveys to give their input.
We would like to hear from every Citizens family! Please take 5-10 minutes this week to complete this family survey.
