Included in this week's newsletter:

• Early Release Wednesdays Begin This Week
• Dismissal Reminders
• Spirit Wear Bundles For Sale
  
• Uniform Donations Needed
• Free & Reduced Lunch Forms
• Curriculum Night - Thursday, August 29th
• MAP Scores

If you usually pick up your students at 3:30 and are able to pick them up at 1:50 at Wednesdays, please follow your usual procedure for carpool or walk up dismissal. If you are able to pick up at 1:50 pm, please do so, as this allows more of our staff to participate in professional development.

If you usually pick up your students at 3:30 but are not able to pick them up at 1:50 on Wednesdays, we will provide free supervision until you arrive at 3:30. Our non-teaching staff will provide this supervision, allowing students time to complete homework, read, and participate in other activities. At this time, no registration is needed. You may pick up anytime before 3:30 pm, and please come to the front desk to pick up your child.

If your students usually participate in the Operation Breakthrough program after-school, we will provide supervision at school until the bus arrives around 3:30 to pick them up.

If your students are registered for Camp Fire, they will be dismissed straight to Camp Fire at 1:50 pm. You will pick them up according to your usual procedure.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

A few reminders about dismissal:

• All students who are not in Camp Fire aftercare must be picked up by 3:45 pm.
• In order to limit disruption to our dismissal procedure and to make sure all students are dismissed from the building safely, students may not be picked up early from the lobby between 3:10-3:30 pm.
• For students enrolled in Camp Fire, the earliest pickup available is 4 pm.

Spirit wear bundle orders close tomorrow! These items, offered in both youth and adult sizes for $55 per bundle, are available for purchase through the CWC Merch Store for students, caregivers, and staff and can be worn as uniform pieces. Bundle orders will be sent home with students in mid-September.

You can find more information about uniforms by visiting the Uniforms page of the website.

Our uniform closet needs a restock! We are in need of gently used or new uniform items to share with our students. Please see the website for uniform guidelines. https://www.cwckansascity.org/uniforms/

We ask that every family enrolled fill out the Free & Reduced Lunch form every year to ensure that all families have the opportunity to take advantage of the program. If you have not yet completed the form, please turn it in as soon as possible at the front desk. Blank forms can be picked up at the front desk, as well. Please reach out to Blake Smith at blake.smith@cwckansascity.org with any questions about the form or the FRL program.

Please join us on Thursday, August 29th for Curriculum/Title I Night. We will first gather in the MPR at 6:00 pm for a presentation from Principal Butler. Then families will be dismissed to grade level classrooms to receive information from teachers for specific grade levels. There will be two sessions available for families needing to attend for multiple children. Sessions will last 20 minutes, and students are welcome to attend. The schedule is as follows:

6:00-6:30 - Presentation from Mr. Butler (for all families, in MPR)

6:40-7:00 - Grade Level Presentations (for all families, in classrooms)

7:10-7:30 - Grade Level Presentations (only for families with more than one CWC student)

Scores from the 2024 Missouri MAP Test will be available for 4th through 8th graders at Curriculum Night on Thursday, August 29th.
