Re-enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal will open soon! Because February 1st lands on a weekend, we will open re-enrollment early this year on January 29th! This is a quick process of confirming your family information and shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, depending on how many students you have enrolled.

In order to be prepared to re-enroll in a timely manner, please make sure that you are able to log into your Parent Portal. If you have any issues accessing your Parent Portal, please reach out to Tisha Kidd as soon as possible.

Spots for next year are only guaranteed until February 28th, at which time all remaining seats will be offered to new students in the lottery. Please make sure you complete re-enrollment in February! You can learn more by visiting the Re-Enrollment page of the CWCKC website.

If you have other children whom you would like to enroll as new students at CWC for the 2026-2027 school year, be sure to fill out the SchoolAppKC application before March 1st so that they have the best chance for a spot in the lottery. Reach out to Katy Lineberry with any questions about enrollment for new or current students.

Second quarter grade reports are being sent via USPS to your family's address on file with the school this week. If you do not receive them by Monday, January 26th, please feel free to reach out to the front desk to check that your address in the system is correct.

Please note that we will be phasing out physical copies of grade reports. You are already able to access your child's grades through your Parent Portal. Please reach out to Ms. Kidd for help logging in!

Save the date for this year's Family Skate Party! All students and their families are invited to join us at Skate City Shawnee on Thursday, January 29th from 6-8 pm. Skate rental and admission will be available at a reduced rate, and Skate City kindly donates a percentage back to our school. This is always a fun time for our staff and families!

Our 2nd grade students will showcase their work at the classroom level and the date will be sent out by the classroom teacher at a later date.

Following the PBL Showcase, all 5th-7th grade caregivers are encouraged to stay for a short chat with Mr. Butler regarding some exciting things on the horizon for our middle schoolers next year! Learn about new opportunities with academics, electives, service learning, and more. If you are not able to attend but would like more info, please reach out to Mr. Butler. Another meeting will be planned if there is additional interest.

If a family you refer accepts a spot and fully enrolls for the 2026-2027 school year, you could earn a referral reward! Just be sure the family includes your name on their online registration form, and you'll earn a $25 gift card per student once they fully enroll and attend Citizens on the first day of school in August. New families can apply today at www.schoolappkc.org.
