Updated Directories Now Available

From Tanesha McCluney
The 2018-2019 Directory of Schools, Central Office by Department Directory, Alphabetic Central Office Directory and Directory for Departments in other Buildings are now available below and the Intranet:

http://www.kckps.org/index.php/directories

I would like to thank everyone for their cooperation in sending me the necessary updates and changes to release these directories before the 2018-2019 school year begins.

I will update the directories quarterly, but if you have changes throughout the school year, let me know immediately so that I may begin making those changes early.

Have a great school year.

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!

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!
