As the countdown to the 1st day of school has begun for many, let's dive into ways to make the 2023-2024 school year successful!
Attendance matters!! Let's look at the difference between Truancy vs. Chronic Absence. This will help to get a better understanding in which category your child's absences would fall.
Did you know? Our district-wide open house is almost here! Mark you calendar!
On August 22nd from 4pm-6pm you can tour your school, meet your teacher(s) and pickup your iPads (6th-12th)! See you there!
Are you ready for the 2023-2024 school year?? Check through this list of reminders to double check that you are all ready for the school year to begin in just 13 days!
KCSD has joined the Attendance Awareness Campaign! Please stand with us as we are 'Showing Up Together' to reduce chronic absenteeism.
Chronic absenteeism is missing 10% or more of the school year or approximately 18 days over an entire year.
