Thank you so much for your flexibility with the needed arrival/dismissal procedure changes last week. We appreciate your patience while we make these adjustments. Please know that we expect drop-off and pick-up around back to run more quickly and smoothly next year when our building addition construction is complete. Please take another look at the information that was sent out last week to refresh your memory on the new procedures.

As we have worked with our new procedures, we also want to remind you:

Families should use the crosswalks located at Broadway/Armour or Broadway/34th Intersections. Crossing the street in front of our entrance is causing major disruptions to the traffic on Broadway and creating an unsafe environment for our families, students, & staff. Please be sure to obey all traffic laws while dropping your students off and picking them up!

Families utilizing our car line in the parking lot of the school should remain mindful of our neighbors and refrain from blocking driveways and streets while waiting in the pickup line. Help us be good neighbors to those living within our school community!

Please reach out if you have any questions!

The annual Missouri MAP tests start next week for our 5th and 8th graders and will continue the following week for all 3rd through 8th graders. We kindly ask that you plan ahead to ensure your child gets a good night's sleep each night and arrives at school on time each morning, as testing will be taking place in the morning.

Week of April 13th - Science (5th & 8th grade only)

Week of April 20th - ELA (All 3rd-8th graders)

Week of April 27th - Math (All 3rd-8th graders)

In order to maintain a focused testing environment, students are not allowed to bring cell phones or smart watches into the classroom during testing. Please remind your child to leave these items at home or to speak with a teacher about securely storing them during the assessment.

Registration for our 2026 Summer School program is now open for all students enrolled for the 2026-2027 school year! Below are general details about summer school, and you can click here to view more info from Ms. Kriefall!

Don't forget to pay your supply fees!

• If you indicated on your registration that you want to pay in your Parent Portal, fees were/will be added to your student's account soon after registration. Please reach out Ms. Kidd if you need help getting into your portal.
• If you indicated on your registration that you'd like to pay with cash or check, please bring it to Ms. Jamesetta or Ms. Gina at the front desk during school hours.

Every spring we seek input from our current families to learn what is working at Citizens and what needs improvement. We intentionally reflect on this feedback and make adjustments as needed. In addition to this family survey, our 3rd-8th graders and staff members will be completing similar surveys to give their input.

We would like to hear from every Citizens family! If you haven't yet done so, please take 5-10 minutes this week to complete this family survey.

If you have utilized the monthly school food pantry, please take a few minutes to fill out Harvester's survey. This will provide them with important feedback on how to improve their food pantry services to our school. This survey should take less than 5 minutes and is open to families and students. Your response is anonymous and not connected to your email address.

The re-enrollment period has now ended, and students' spots for next year are no longer guaranteed. Re-enrollment through your Parent Portal will still be available if there is not a waitlist in your child's grade, and you can find instructions for completing re-enrollment by visiting the Re-Enrollment page of the CWCKC website.

If your family will not be returning for the 2026-2027 school year or if your plans have changed, please email Ms. Lineberry or text/call her at 816-550-5276 with this information, as we are required to account for every student's intentions for next year.

Offers for next year are already being sent out to newly enrolling students! If you are interested in enrolling a sibling who will be a NEW STUDENT at Citizens next year, please be sure to complete a SchoolAppKC application soon to secure their seat for next year! Don't forget to add your current student's name on the sibling question so that sibling priority is applied!

If you have any questions, please contact Katy Lineberry right away.

Don't forget to check the Family Dashboard for the full calendar, including upcoming field trips!
