Kindergarten Academy Compass 2024-2025
Compass is piloting a new initiative called Kindergarten Academy for the 2024-2025 school year.
Below is a button, linked to a newsletter, providing specific details on what Kindergarten Academy is and how it will benefit our Kindergarten students at Compass Elementary.
There is also a document entitled "Frequently Asked Questions" where parents/guardians can ask administration questions as it pertains to Kindergarten Academy.
Thank you! We are very excited about piloting this for the Platte County School District!

Birthday Treats
We believe that birthdays are an important time in a child’s life, and Compass students will receive a Birthday Book in celebration of their special day. However, for several reasons including increased food allergies, preservation of the instructional day, and student equality, students are not allowed to bring treats from home or a store or have flowers/balloons or other items delivered to the classroom for birthdays, going-away parties, or other personal events. If a student receives a delivery at school, the student will be notified to come to the office to view the item. Parents will be responsible for transporting the item home. Birthday party invitations may only be distributed if invitations are given to every student in the class.

Change of Transportation Reminder
If you need to change your student's transportation, please make sure you call/email the office prior to 2:30!
Slips go to teachers at 3:00 so any calls after 2:30, makes for a rushed change and we want to ensure the safety of all our students in their transportation home.
Thank you for your support in this matter!
