Convocation Pennant Parade
From Susan Westfahl
Convocation will be held on Wednesday, August 8 at 9:00 a.m. at Memorial Hall. Again this year, we will have a parade of school pennants. Please choose an individual to proudly carry your school???s pennant, and forward that name to Susan Westfahl at susan.westfahl@kckps.org.
School reps will need to report to the concession stand area in the hallway outside of the auditorium at 8:30 a.m. They will pick up their pennant and line-up to be ready to march in at the beginning of Convocation.
I would also encourage you to invite your team to dress in school spirit wear and sit together. We look forward to seeing you at Convocation on August 8!
Welcome Center Information-Needed
From Kristen Scott
Administrators,
Just a reminder that I need your list of individuals that you want to receive Welcome Center notification emails by August 1st.
Also, if you want the Welcome Center staff to provide any information on your school (supply list, uniform guidelines….) please provide that information by August 1st.
2018 All-Staff Convocation
From Melissa Fears
Welcome back everyone!
The school district will host its annual Convocation next week, bringing staff together to kick off the new school year as a team.
WHERE AND WHEN
- Wednesday, August 8, 2018
- 9:00 a.m. at Memorial Hall, 600 N. 7th St.
- Doors open at 7:30 a.m.
A video will be available for those unable to attend the event.
TRANSPORTATION
Due to the very limited parking in the downtown area, transportation will be provided to Memorial Hall. The district???s Transportation Department will be transporting staff to and from the event. Buses will begin making runs at 6:45 a.m. from the following locations:
- F.L. Schlagle High School, 2214 N. 59th St.
- J.C. Harmon High School, 2400 Steele Rd.
- Sumner Academy of Arts and Science, 1610 N. 8th St.
- Washington High School, 7340 Leavenworth Rd.
- Wyandotte High School, 2501 Minnesota Ave.
- North Central Office, 2220 N. 59th St. (east and west parking lots)
- The Central Office and Training Center, 2010 N. 59th St.
- Transportation, 6126 Parallel Pkwy.
The last bus will depart from the above locations at 8:30 a.m. to transport staff to Memorial Hall.
DISABILITY ACCESS
Due to the limited parking spaces for individuals with disabilities at Memorial Hall, there will be handicap-accessible buses running from all the above locations as well. These buses can accommodate wheelchair pickups and also assist those who struggle with regular bus stairs, since the entry stairs in these buses are nearer to the ground. Bus drivers will be letting out passengers close to the curb to enter Memorial Hall.
Staff with disability needs should plan to arrive early for floor seating at the event.
The buses returning staff to the school district site locations will have the name of their location displayed in a window.
Thank you and welcome back!

Documents and Slides for the 2018 Beginning-of-Year Administrators’ Meeting
From Mike Keener
- For administrators who would like a digital copy of forms and/or slide presentations from Tuesday’s Beginning-of-theYear meeting at the Central Office, there is a page in place on the Staff Intranet where these items will be housed. If you go to the intranet, it’s one of the top three blue buttons in the sidebar of the page. Here is a shortcut to the page.Not everything is posted yet (as I have not yet received everything from the departments that presented to you), but I will be adding items as I receive them. At the moment, the page has forms and presentation files from Communications department, the ESOL department, the Grants department, the Purchasing department, the Risk Assessment department, Student Services, the TIS department, and the Transportation department.
- For administrators of departments that presented forms, brochures, handouts, and PowerPoint presentations: please send me digital copies of your items, and I will post them for you. I can be reached by either michael.keener@kckps.org, or webmaster@kckps.org.
