Absences
KCK Public Schools require absences to be reported by a parent/guardian on the day of the absence, giving the child’s name, teacher’s name, and reason for the absence. Valid excuses for absences are: illness, medical/dental appointment, and family crisis/emergency. (Excessive absences may require a doctor’s excuse.) Other absences will be regarded as unexcused. Three unexcused absences in a row, 5 in one semester, or 7 in a year are reported to the District Attorney’s office as truancy. Call the school office at 627-5150 to report absences.
Early Pick Up
If a student must leave school early for an appointment, a parent/guardian must come to the office to sign the student out. Adults will be asked to show a picture ID to ensure that the right person is picking up a student. The student will be called to the office to be dismissed. It is extremely important that students stay at school for the entire instructional day.
Bus Riders
Bus riders are assigned to specific buses. If a student needs to ride another bus due to changes in after-school arrangements, a parent/guardian must notify the school in writing or by telephone. An emergency bus pass must be written in the office prior to dismissal time. Bus riders are expected to follow ALL safety rules while waiting on the bus, boarding the bus, riding the bus, and getting off the bus.
Car Riders
Students who are car riders should be dropped off at the north end of the west wing at
School-wide Expectations
Students are expected to demonstrate self-control, respect for others, and respect for property at all times, in all areas of the school (classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, multipurpose room, library, playground, and buses) as well as during all activities (class, specials, assemblies, breakfast/lunch, field trips, walking in hallway). Students are to be respectful and follow the directions of all adults in the building.
Suspension
There are several situations that warrant immediate suspension from school: fighting, physical/severe verbal abuse to staff members, sexual misconduct, and bringing a weapon to school. Parents will be notified at the time of the suspension and will be expected to pick up the student immediately.
Items from Home
Students may NOT bring items from home to play with during school hours (including radios, tape players, pagers, cell phones, calculators, balls). Playground equipment is provided by the school for recess. Students should not bring things to eat (gum, candy, chips, pop, etc.) unless specifically requested by a teacher for a specific event.
Cafeteria
Students are expected to demonstrate good manners while in the cafeteria.
1. NO TALKING while waiting in line and during dismissal.

3. Follow the 3-person rule while eating (talk in a quiet voice to the persons on either side and directly across from you).
4. Students must walk at dismissal.

A Lost and Found barrel is kept in the multipurpose room for items that are left unclaimed. All personal belongings (book bag, coat, cap, etc.) should be marked with student’s name for easy identification.
