Show Your Chiefs Spirit
The Chiefs football season kicks off soon, and we’re gearing up for a great start! The first Chiefs game is this Thursday, September 5th, and students are encouraged to wear red that day to show off their Chiefs spirit! Additionally, students are invited to wear red every Friday before a Chiefs game to keep the excitement going all season long.
Fall Club Registration Ends Today
Today is the last day to register for fall clubs!
To register, log into your Parent Portal, choose School Store, then Shop, and finally Products.
At this point, you can view information about each club, add to your cart, and check out by clicking Submit. Be sure to check the grade levels for each club before submitting.
Spots are limited, so please sign up as soon as possible! As clubs meet minimum enrollment, you will be charged the club fee in your Parent Portal and notified. Limited scholarships are available to families that qualify for free and reduced lunch by completing this scholarship application and will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Students may not begin clubs unless this fee is paid or a scholarship is confirmed.
More info about clubs can be found in the August 26th Citizens Connection newsletter. Please contact kristi.reneau@cwckansascity.org with any questions!
How to Report Student Absences
Ensuring your child’s attendance is up-to-date is crucial for their academic success. If your child will be absent from school, please follow these simple steps to notify us:
Contact the Front Desk: Call the front desk at 816-499-8000 or email us at elementary.attendance@cwckansascity.org (for K-5th grade students) or middle.attendance@cwckansascity.org (for 6th-8th grade students). Be sure to provide your child's full name, grade, and the reason for their absence. When possible, please include your child's classroom teacher in this communication so that they are also aware.
Report Absences by 9:00 am. To help us maintain accurate attendance records, please report absences by 9:00 am on the day of the absence.
Reporting absences directly to the front office is important so that our nurse can track trends in sicknesses and ensure the health and safety of all students. It also ensures that Ms. Jamesetta has information as quickly as possible to avoid causing confusion for families who receive unnecessary calls regarding absences. Your prompt communication helps us support your child's learning journey and maintain a safe and organized school environment. Thank you for your cooperation!

Bicycle/Scooter Reminder
Students who wish to bike and scooter are encouraged to do so! However, all bikes and scooters should be secured to the bike rack in the front of the building - they can no longer be stored inside the building.
