MAP REPORT UPDATE

Earlier today (Friday, Sept. 17), the District emailed parents a copy of their child’s Fall 2021 MAP report, some of which had an inaccessible link in the top of the letter.  Parents can click on the “click here” link at the bottom of the email to access their child’s MAP report. The District is aware of the issue and will have it repaired by Saturday afternoon (Sept. 18).

 

COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUP

KCSD 96's Board of Education hosts two Open Forums on Wednesday, Sept. 29 ~ one at 7:30 a.m. and one at 7 p.m. ~ for community members who have not attended another Superintendent Search Focus Group.  Both sessions are virtual; a log-in link will be shared at a later date.

 

CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR?

Do you ever ask yourself if children appear to be less disciplined than ever, and you’re not quite sure how to deal with them or issues they present?

Maybe you can glean some answers from best-selling author Katherine Reynolds Lewis’ online presentation for local parents on Wednesday, Sept. 29.  The session ~“Using the 3 Cs: Connection, Communications, Capability to Combat Challenging Behaviors” ~ starts at 7 p.m. on Sept. 29.

The presentation is free and open to the community.  Organizers ask that you RSVP at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/using-the-3-cs-to-combat-challenging-behaviors-tickets-168129089633.
