Session 1: Incoming 6th Grade Band 🎺9:00–9:50 AM

Perfect for incoming 6th graders with or without previous experience! Never played an instrument before? Awesome — this is the perfect place to start. Already have some experience? Even better! With two teachers helping, students can break into groups by skill level to learn the basics, strengthen technique, and play fun music together. This is a great way to build confidence before the school year starts and meet future band friends.

🎼 Session 2: Incoming 7th & 8th Grade Band 10:00–10:50 AM

Designed for returning band students who want to keep growing as musicians. Students will be grouped by experience level so everyone can continue building skills, strengthening technique, and playing fun music together. A great way to keep those musical muscles in shape over the summer!

🎷 Session 3: 7th & 8th Grade Jazz Band 11:00–11:50 AM

Love cool music and want to try something new? This session is for you! Students will explore exciting jazz styles, learn the basics of improvisation, and perform fun jazz music in a relaxed, encouraging environment.

🥁 Session 4: Drumline 12:00–12:50 PM

No percussion experience required! We’ll teach students the basics of drumline technique and help them learn fun cadences and rhythms. Drum sticks will be provided for this session — just bring your energy and enthusiasm!

More information on how to register will be coming soon. Stay tuned for sign-up details and additional camp information!

Summer Theater Camp is BACK!!! 🎭

We’re excited to bring back our summer theater camp this year with two fun, fast-paced weeks designed for middle school students who love to perform, create, and just have fun with others.

Week 1 (June 1-5): Improv Camp

Students will jump into games and activities that build confidence, creativity, and quick thinking. This week is all about laughter, teamwork, and learning to think on your feet. No experience needed-just a willingness to try!

Week 2 (June 8-12): Sketch Comedy Camp

In week two, students take things a step further by creating their own original comedy sketches. They’ll work together to write, rehearse, and perform for a small audience at the end of the week. This is a great fit for students who enjoy performing or want to try writing and acting.

Students can sign up for one or both, but the camps are designed to work especially well together.

Details:

Each camp runs one week (Monday-Friday)

• Time: 1.5 hours per day

• Cost:$125 per week or $210 for both weeks

Whether your student is already involved in theater or just curious to try something new, this is a great way to build confidence, meet new people, and have a lot of fun. We’d love to see them join us this summer!

More details and sign-up information coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who supported our March fundraiser by entering the Dash for Cash raffle. We brought in $1,077 for Ronald McDonald House Charities in Kansas City!

Our Book Fair is coming up (4/6-4/10), and this year we’re opening the doors for parents to jump in and be part of it during the school day!

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could be more involved, but I don’t know where to start,” this is an easy (and fun) way to do it. You can sign up with a friend, or come on your own and get to know other parents while you help out. Sign up HERE and come to the office to check-in that day. If you have a little time to give, we’d love to have you. It really does make a difference!

Get ready to glow! Join us for a night of fun at our Neon School social. Be sure to wear your boldest, brightest colors and come ready to shine!

Illness

To help control the spread of illness in our school please follow these illness guidelines:

Fever-Keep student home until fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication

Vomiting, Diarrhea, GI upset-keep home until symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication.

Respiratory Virus Illness (Covid, Influenza, RSV): Stay home until both are true, fever free for 24 hours without medication and symptoms are getting better.

When reporting your student absent due to illness please give a brief description of the illness such as sore throat, fever, vomiting, flu, strep throat. This will help with illness tracking and reporting to the health department. If reporting Influenza (Flu) please indicate the type of Flu such as Influenza A or Influenza B or tested with home test.

Please remember to report absences and late arrivals to the school by 8:30 a.m. You may call the school attendance line at 913-422-5854 or use the online absence reporting form. The school will call to follow-up with unreported absences after 8:30. Students arriving tardy after 7:55 must enter through the front office doors (you are not required to escort late students inside, but if your student is late due to an appointment, please report it to the office in advance so their attendance is appropriately marked).

Due to staffing transitions, the MT office will close each day at 3:30pm (phones and physical office). We are available by phone from 7:35am until 3:30pm each school day. If you need to speak with us outside of these hours, please reach out via email.
