KPBSD News
!ATTENTION ALL FAMILIES!
Please complete the short survey attached to the bottom of this week’s newsletter. The survey is titled, 2022 Income Eligibility Survey. If our schools qualify, it means that we receive federal money to help offset some costs related to telecommunications, internet access, and wireless connectivity within our schools. We could also receive federal money to assist in our schools’ goals. There are hard copies of this survey available at the office of each school. If confidentiality is a concern, we can provide an envelope which can be sealed, returned to the school, and sent on to the Director of Information Technology. Thank you!
All Doors to School Will Now Be Locked
This school year, the KPBSD is requiring all elementary school doors to be locked during the academic school day. We understand this may be an inconvenience for some parents and staff, but the KPBSD holds school safety to the utmost level. As you know, the district is in the process of changing out traditional locking doors with electronic locking mechanisms. School principals can give you more information about this process.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Cooper Landing School Updates
Early Release/No School
Students will have an early release day (1:45) on Thursday, October 13. There is no school on Friday, October 14 (teacher in-service).
Volunteers
On occasion, we may need help transporting students other than your own on field trips, as we do not have a bus. If you are willing to help out, a background check is required. Please go to https://kpbsd.org/departments/assistant-superintendent/instructional-services/hr/volunteer/ to complete the form. Thank you in advance!
Fundraising Meeting
We have put together a Google Doc as a tool to brainstorm fundraising ideas for the school. We have only had two people contribute to this effort. Please use the attached link and add any ideas you may have. Just scroll down to the bottom, add your information, and it will automatically save and will be accessible to everyone in the group. We will use this document at our special fundraising meeting (date/time TBD). We need everyone's ideas and participation. Thanks in advance!

Hope School Happenings
Hello Students and Parents,
Hope’s PTO/Site Council meetings will be on the first Tuesday of each month from 3:45 – 4:30, beginning with Tuesday, October 4th. Come join us!
PTO Swag
Let us gear up with some Hope Swag. Please review the photos below and we will have more information on the way soon. So please place your orders soon and support Hope School! See Jeannine Jabaay for orders and details.
It’s time to think about appropriate weather gear already!
We care about your child’s health and comfort and want to take this opportunity to share a reminder. Children will play outdoors daily unless air quality poor or the temperature is below -10 (wind chill factor included). Please make sure your student has appropriate gear for outdoor play so they may participate fully.
- Rain: raincoat and waterproof boots
- Snow: heavy coat, snow pants, snow boots, hat and mittens/gloves
Your Volunteer Status is key this year
We would really like each and every parent to come in and visit with their child this year, participate in field trips and help out. Please sign up to volunteer so you can come participate, help out, join in and make a difference. Please do this as soon as possible because our field trip for Van Gogh is coming up soon. https://www.applitrack.com/kpbsd/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Volunteer+Screening+Process

Hope School is always happy to have substitute teachers and volunteers. Opportunity is available for both positions currently. Please consider one or both positions https://www.applitrack.com/kpbsd/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Volunteer+Screening+Process
