The Kindergarten, 1st, 4th and 5th grade students had a ball playing with and talking to the WMU football player. Shout out to Julian Jones, Senior Associate Athletics Director for sharing the opportunity with KPS students.

Congratulations to our October Students of the Month. They showed Personal Responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Dependability and Excellence. Great job of showing P.R.I.D.E. our 1st month of school!

The goal of the district is to have all students in school every day. Building administrators, in collaboration with staff members, will develop a process for acknowledging students with excellent and improved attendance in each school.

For students to get the most out of school, punctual and regular attendance is vital. Parents/guardians should call the school office as early as possible on the day of an absence. It is most helpful to have the phone call within the first hour of school. In addition, parents/guardians should provide a written excuse and request homework for any absences thus making the absence excused; without communication the absence is considered unexcused. When a student is absent, they are responsible for makeup work. Any day a child is absent and an appropriate contact with the school office is not made by the parent/guardian, attempts will be made to contact the parent/guardian.

Approved Excused Absences

• Student illness and/or appointment verified by the parent/guardian or medical professional.

• Medically verified extended illness or hospitalization.

• Attending a funeral.

• Religious holiday.

• Absence due to a subpoenaed court appearance.

• Any time missed due to KPS school transportation issues.

A member of our Attendance Team will contact you via email, text message or phone call when your child reaches 3, 5, 10 and 15 absences. Please partner with us in making sure that your child is at school on time everyday. We promise to provide academic and social emotional support when they are present.
