Free Online Summer Camps and Classes for All K-12 Students
from MTSS
Varsity Tutors is providing ALL K-12 students with access to free online camps and classes which will be available from June 6th – September 22nd. In order for students to access the camps and classes for free, they must login to Varsity Tutors through the app in Clever. All students, no matter if they were in Varsity Tutors, will have access to the app.
To support families and students with accessing Clever, it may be beneficial to share Clever login information with students before they leave school on Thursday. This may be especially beneficial for our younger students who use Clever QR codes.
For more information on this opportunity, please see these informational flyers.

If you have any questions, please contact Ellen Bartels.

KCKPS Staffing Process Sheet for Annual Spring Budget Planning & Meetings
from Federal Programs
Any staffing position included in the building budget must be an existing district approved position with an existing district approved job description, and district approved compensation scale for the following school year.
Position titles and/or job descriptions of staff included and approved in the building budget cannot be changed (during the summer or following school year) to something different than what was discussed and approved during the spring budget meetings. (Titles and actual duties must remain consistent with district approved job descriptions and associated district approved compensation scales.)
Additional positions cannot be added and charged to the budget after the spring budget meetings (during the summer or following school year), without first discussing with Federal Programs, Human Resources, and Finance departments.
Any newly created positions must be vetted and approved through the Human Resources Department and the principal must provide the approved job description from the Human Resource Department, as well as the approved compensation scale for the new positions. Positions cannot be added (even as a projection) in the building budget, unless they’ve been vetted and approved through the Human Resources Department.
