School Loop Websites – Updates Coming and Meetings Required
From Mike Keener
There is an update coming at the end of this month (September 28)to all School Loop websites (this comes directly from School Loop). Each and every existing School Loop site will be upgraded to School Loop 2.0, in an effort to modernize the design of the sites as well as make the websites ADA-compliant. I will be running tests on an older site early this week so I can assist in showing the webmasters of these remaining sites how to edit the new pages.
If your school still runs an active School Loop site, please send me contact information at
J.C. Harmon High School
F.L. Schlagle High School
Sumner Academy
Washington High School
Wyandotte High School
Arrowhead Middle
Central Middle
Coronado Middle
Eisenhower Middle
Bertram Caruthers Elementary
Eugene Ware Elementary
Frances Willard Elementary
Lastly, if any of these School Loop sites are no longer in use by your school, please let me know, so that I can remove them from the main directory.

4th Friday College & University Days At KCKPS
From Melissa Fears
I wanted to make you aware of a new program that will be rolled out this week to staff.
Beginning on September 28, KCKPS is dedicating the 4th Friday of each month to colleges and universities.
Wear your college or university T-shirt, sweat shirt, or hat to promote awareness of higher learning institutions locally, across the country and around the world. It can be a college or university attended by you, a family member or even one that you like.
It???s the school district???s way of spurring conversation among staff and students about colleges and universities. So, pull out your college wear and help us spread the word about continuing education and all of its opportunities.
Employees should remember to adhere to school district policies regarding professional appearance as well as check with their supervisor about participating. Participation in this activity does not mean a free jeans pass day. Sorority and fraternity items are not considered the same as university and college apparel.
