Spring PBL Showcase - Friday, May 17th
We hope you will join our students for our second annual Spring PBL Showcase this Friday, May 17th from 2-3 pm! Please be mindful of parking options around the building, as there is still construction taking place. We kindly ask that you avoid parking in the limited spots near the bus stop on Broadway, and be sure not to block the fire hydrant. Additional parking may be found here. Caregivers are welcome to bring students home at the conclusion of the showcase at 3 pm. Further details can be found on the flyer below. We'll see you there!
Summer School Materials Fees
If you have not yet paid your summer school fees, please pay them as soon as possible. Cash/check payments should be dropped off at the front desk. Summer school fees must be paid by Friday, May 17th to guarantee your student's spot in the summer school program.
If you indicated that you'd prefer to pay through your Parent Portal, follow these directions:
- Log into your Parent Portal
- Click on "Fees"
- Choose "2024-2025" under School Year
- Click "Add to Cart" for all fees
- Click on "My Cart" and check out
Summer school is filling up, but we still have a few spots available! Click here to begin your family's registration!
If your plans have changed and your child can no longer attend or you cannot commit to 100% attendance, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer your child's spot to another student.
After-care available at CWCKC until 6 pm through Camp Fire, but registration is required.
Field Day Volunteers Needed
We still need about 50 more volunteers for our eighth annual Field Day on Friday, May 24th! Please consider signing up for a couple of hours to help this day run smoothly for our community. No background clearance is needed, so all caregivers are encouraged to sign up today!
8th Grade End-of-Year Events
We're so proud of our graduating 8th graders, and we hope all of our families will congratulate them as they prepare to leave our community and venture on to high school! Below is information about the remaining year-end events for this year's graduating 8th graders:

Camp Fire 2024-2025 Registration Open
Registration for the Camp Fire after-school program is now open for the 2024-2025 school year!
Camp Fire is available to registered students every day until 6 pm, even on Wednesday early release days! Due to an incredible grant they received last year, Camp Fire is available at no cost to our families. However, families need to commit to 90% student attendance in order to participate due to this funding, meaning that students should generally stay until 5:30-5:45 pm.
If you are in need of after-school care next year, please register as soon as possible so that Camp Fire can staff their program as accurately as possible. Similarly, if you register and then have a change in plans, please reach out to Camp Fire to notify them that you no longer wish for your child to be registered.
Click here to register your child(ren). If you have any questions, please reach out directly to Camp Fire at 660-539-7100 or email them at megan.mcmurray@campfireheartland.org
