Hello Kickapoo Families!
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful Fall weather this weekend!
As a reminder, I update this blog each weekend and email it out to students and families via Canvas and those who have emails on file in eSchool. I have heard from a few stating they are not receiving the email. Please check your junk/spam folder. You may need to add my email address to your contacts as well. You can also follow/subscribe to this blog as well.
Below are a few new notes for you and then several reminders.

* Parking permits - On sale now. Go the Financial office to pick up paperwork and pay $10 for the first semester.
* FREE ACT for Seniors - Will be offered on Oct. 6th & Oct. 20th. Please click HERE for specific details. Questions? Contact Dr. Coffey.
* FREE BREAKFAST & LUNCH - Beginning September 8, ALL students enrolled at Kickapoo will be able to eat a school breakfast AND lunch for free! Students attending school virtually can pick up food items during designated times in the carline. Click here for more information or check out nutrition services at SPS.org.
Earlier this month we were happy to announce that all students would be able to eat free due to an extension of federal funding. This extension will continue through Dec. 31, 2020, or until the program funding is depleted. Since we do not know when that might happen, we want to remind you that you should still complete the Free and Reduced Price Meal application for 2020-2021. This will ensure that once the pandemic meal program expires your family will continue to receive meal benefits, if you are eligible. The current pandemic has impacted many SPS families in ways that may have changed their eligibility. Even if your family has not qualified for free or reduced price meals in the past, the only way to confirm your eligibility is to complete the application. It only takes a few minutes to complete and is available online here. If needed, please review these Frequently Asked Questions and Income Eligibility Guidelines to assist in completing your application. You may also obtain a printed copy of the application from your child's school or by calling the Nutrition Services office at (417) 523-1130. Thank
you. |
* MEALS ON VIRTUAL DAYS - SPS will make meals available for students to take home for use on days when they are learning from home or for students fully virtual. These meals must be pre-ordered. Cost of the meals are free. Click here for more information.
* Progress Reports - The first progress report is NOW available as of Friday, Sept. 18th. Please login to eSchool Home Access from our home page or HERE. Your login is the same as previous years. Need your login? Contact the main office.
Have questions about grades? Please contact the teacher at any time.
* Yearbooks are on sale now for $45 and can be purchased HERE. Price will increase Sept. 25th.
* Wednesday Virtual Day - Each teacher has scheduled a 15 minute time during each students scheduled class time in which they will be live via Zoom. This time will be to present new material and/or review previous material. If you have any questions please contact your teacher via email or Canvas as they are working from home on Wednesday's as well.
* Thank you for your patience with us as we navigate the hybrid model of learning. Remember teachers are with students M/T & Th/Fri. If you have questions please email or send a message via Canvas. Allow them up to 24 hours to respond as most of them only have one planning period each day. Thank you.
