Reminders:
- If your student has two or more COVID symptoms they are required to get a PCR test or a doctor’s note with an alternative diagnosis before returning to school.
- If your student has a positive test please notify the campus nurse within 24 hours.
- With the approval of the Kansas City Health Department, we are no longer contact tracing individual cases of COVID within our buildings, though this may change in the event of a cluster of cases. In the event of an exposure, a class or cohort notice will be sent so that families can watch for possible symptom development.
Click here to read the safety guidelines and view our dashboard. Our dashboard shows our number of cases, quarantines, and vaccinated contact by campus. The dashboard is updated weekly on Fridays. You can upload your child's covid-19 vaccine records here. Covid-19 testing at school: Click here and click here for more information.

Invitation for K-3 Students |
K-3 students are invited to sing "Joyeux Anniversaire" in French at the Nelson-Atkins Museum on Sunday, May 1 at 2:00 pm to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Molière's birth. Molière's 400th birthday party is a free and open-to-the-public celebration with birthday cake and entertainment in Kirkwood Hall in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. You can see more information on the KCMOLiere400in2022 event page. Please let your teacher know if your child will be able to attend. |

Join us as we celebrate Molière's 400th birthday on April 29th at 2:00 pm in the Oak Auditorium.
High school students will be presenting "A Taste of Moliere" for honored guests, students, and you! It's a little bit of drama, a little bit of music, a little bit of dance, and a whole lot of wigs!
Sponsored by KCMOlière, this 30-minute taste should be a fun way to celebrate such an amazing French writer (with a special appearance by the man himself!)

Attention all current fifth through seventh-grade girls! Those interested in playing volleyball this fall should start warming up for tryouts. To keep each tryout session manageable and meaningful, sign-ups are required. Please sign up for no more than two time slots during the designated slots on the following days:
- Monday, May 9th
- Tuesday, May 10th
- Thursday, May 12th
As you'll see on the form, current 6th and 7th graders can select from 4-5 or 5-6 each day. Current 5th graders can attend from 6-7. All tryouts will take place in the Cherry gym.
Shortly after the tryouts, an A and a B team will be selected and announced. Then, we may open up an additional tryout this fall for anyone that isn't able to attend or anyone that feels they have gained skills and would like a second chance.
