“This week we celebrate and honor the work, life, and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This national holiday isn't simply a day off but "a day on" to volunteer and give back to our communities and causes that matter to

each of us.”

-Teach for America

There is no school on Monday, January 17th as we celebrate and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Attendance

We highly appreciate everyone’s efforts in combating COVID 19 and we are aware that an uptick in absences has occurred. Each month an attendance report is run and reviewed. As the year goes on, you may receive a letter from Mr. Prehna regarding your child’s attendance (absences and tardies). Please, do not fear. Attendance letters keep families aware of absences as well as tardies. Mr. Prehna will contact you by phone or email if attendance and tardies have become problematic. Please continue to keep your children home if sick and continue to follow the guidance from the district regarding COVID 19 protocols. As always, we thank you for your collaboration.

Parent Drop Off and Pick Up

The safety of everyone at KCC is imperative and of utmost importance. When dropping off and picking up your child, please make sure your child is secured in their seat while arriving to school and leaving school. Thank you for your continued efforts to make these busy times of day safe for our community.
