Important Information on Re-Enrollment for SY2018-2019

From Lisa Garcia-Stewart
Re-enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year is now open and will run through the end of May. All parents should receive an initial letter in the mail by Monday, May 14th that will provide information needed to create a parent portal account in Infinite Campus and complete re-enrollment through the online registration tool. There are staff members in each school that have been trained to support parents with completing re-enrollment online and parents should contact their child???s school for assistance.

Parents that receive multiple letters and parents that do not receive a letter from the initial mailing are also being asked to contact their child???s school for assistance. If they receive multiple letters that means there are duplicate profiles in our system and if they don???t receive a letter it means their address is not correct in our system. In either of those cases, they need to contact the school to get the issue corrected and then obtain the information they need to create their parent portal account.

We have created a generic letter (attached) as a follow-up for parents that may not have received the initial letter because their address is incorrect in our system. We don???t want to send these through the mail because our intended audience are parents that didn???t receive the initial letter. Each school will receive enough letters to send home for all currently enrolled students in grades K-11 and they will be delivered to each building through inter-office mail.

Please do not refer parents to Student Services or the Welcome Center for assistance with re-enrollment; all parents should be contacting their child???s school with any questions or issues. The school level support will elevate any issues they are unable to resolve to the appropriate district level person for assistance. Please note that the Welcome Center is only for families of students in grades 1-12 that are brand new to the district or have left the district and are now returning.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Lisa Garcia-Stewart in Student Services. Thank you very much!!!!!

We will post retirement reception flyers on this page as well, so that they can be printed and shared among staff.

DCIP Follow Up Survey

From Jen Holt
You might remember that teachers filled out a survey around our attendance & referral goals in the DCIP mid-year. NEA-KCK sent a follow up survey to teachers today & it will remain open until May 11th. Our goal is to share the results of this survey with administrators before the end of the year.

Welcome Center Survey and News

From Mike Keener
Administrators,
We are looking for feedback on how the Welcome Center is working. Please take a moment to fill out this survey yourself; and also share it with any staff that works with the enrollment process at your building. Our goal is to make this a process that works for everyone, specifically our families.

Also, we are making an immediate change. When students enroll they will not start the next day, but the day after. This will allow your building enough time to process the information.

Another FYI is that there is no cut off date for enrollment.

One more item: the Welcome Center’s hours have slightly changed; it is now open from Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Notice to High School Principals ??? Graduation Photography

From Mike Keener
The KCKPS Communications Team will be taking photos of various scenes at the 2018 graduation ceremonies. Our team, however, will not be available to take photos of individual graduates as they receive their diplomas. We wanted to let you know this so that you will be able to make arrangements for someone to provide this service at your respective ceremonies. Please let us know if you have questions.

Thanks!
