District Lactation Program
From Jody Mitchell
The district has expanded communication regarding our support for breastfeeding staff in all areas. You will notice an updated section in the Employee Handbook (page 26) and the following additions will be provided to employees:
- ??Employees on maternity leave will be provided optional information from HR on lactation workplace accommodations, community resources, pumping information, and the district???s commitment of support.
- HR will be working with Principals/Administrators to identify a primary contact for each building to streamline information and establish a plan to support breaks needed for those employees choosing this option.
Please contact Jody Mitchell with any questions 913-279-2355

New Business Card and Stationery Designs for the School District
From Mike Keener
The KCKPS Communications Team is proud to present an all-new design for district business cards. Below is an example of the new design.
As noted in the photo, the card is designed to handle two full lines of text for an official position and credentials (if needed), but no more than that, in the interest of business card legibility. If you have specific instructions on what order credentials should go on a card, you can request them from the print shop, but the print shop cannot add extra lines for credentials, nor can they shrink the text size to fit more on one line (again, the legibility of the card information is of utmost importance). Lastly, finalized business cards will all utilize Futura as the sole printed font (if you do not have this font, it will be modified before printing). Attached below is the Microsoft Publisher-based template for your staff to utilize for new business cards (again, please do not change any font settings).
Additionally, the KCKPS Communications Team is also proud to present an all-new letterhead (attached below). Not only have we designed new letterhead for the district at large, but we have also designed a specific letterhead designed for each school, as well as most non-Central Office based departments for your use. The header and footer are locked, and the official use font for the letterhead template is Georgia (which both Mac and Windows systems have pre-installed). Please use no other fonts on this letterhead.
In the coming week, you will receive an email with a copy of this letterhead; before you start using it, we need each of you to confirm that the information on the letterhead is up to date and correct (addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, etc.).
One last (but important!) note: Please do NOT order either of these items in place of existing business cards or letterheads; instead, please use up the stationery items that you currently have, and then order the new stationery from the print shop.
Also, be on the lookout for a new “Thank You” card design in the next week or so.
