🚨STOPit APP🚨
KPS is partnering with CREA to launch a new anonymous reporting app for students. It's called STOPit and allows for students to report incidences anonymously before they escalate in order to keep everyone safe💛
To use, download the app "STOPit" and input the access code: Honkers13
🚌 SCHOOL DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP 🚌
A friendly reminder with school starting on Wednesday, August 24: Please do not drive behind the schools from 8:00 am-3:45 pm. Students will be engaging in recess and being dropped off and picked up through our bus transportation services.
📞 If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office.
The State of ND is offering a federal benefit for families that qualify for free or reduced meal status.
Families that fill out the Free and Reduced Meal Application before August 19th and qualify for free or reduced-price meals will also receive the Summer P-EBT card- a $391 value per child for groceries.
• School Meals: Most commonly associated with the free/reduced application is the opportunity to receive free or discounted school meals for children. Eligibility is based on family size and income.
• School Funding: The district's funding is dependent on our rate of free/reduced students, as is our eligibility for additional grant funding. Ensuring our free/reduced rate accurately represents our district is vital in providing a valuable education.
If you haven't already completed a form, please complete your family's application today!
Please contact Amy Harris (385-4996) if you have any questions.
