I am excited to see how our students continue to grow and thrive this year. Thank you for being a vital part of our school community.

KPS Attendance Policy

Chronic absenteeism in school early on creates bad habits—and academic problems later in life. Excused and unexcused absences result in too much time lost in the classroom.

Regular attendance helps students enjoy school more and feel connected to their community. It also boosts academic performance and enhances social skills.

Early Pick-Up

Any changes to a student’s normal dismissal plan must be received in the office BEFORE 3:00 PM; otherwise, we cannot guarantee that your child will receive the message.
