KCKPS would like to remind families about a great resource available to help you stay informed about your student’s school bus transportation.

The Edulog Parent Portal allows parents and guardians to access current bus information and track their student’s bus, helping families better plan for morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off.

Dear KCKPS Families,

After continued monitoring of power restoration and district operations following last night’s severe storms, all KCKPS schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, August 20.

While power has been restored to some of our buildings, ongoing storm-related outages are impacting critical district operations, including transportation services.

These impacts prevent us from safely and reliably transporting students and operating schools across the district.

We will continue to provide updates as conditions change and information becomes available.

Be safe.

Dear KCKPS Families,

The KidZone Program at KCKPS was originally scheduled to begin Thursday, August 20.

However, due to the powerful and damaging storms that occurred late Tuesday night, the start of the program has been postponed to Monday, August 24.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we make this adjustment.

We look forward to welcoming students to KidZone on Monday!
