With cold and flu season upon us, KCPS has many resources for keeping your family healthy this fall. Remember, if your child is ill, please do not send them to school.

Congratulations to all the 2023 Teachers of the year

As we reach the end of the school year, we want to take a moment to acknowledge and congratulate all of the 2023 Teachers of the Year from each one of the schools of the KCPS District. These outstanding teachers have been selected for their dedication, passion, and commitment to their students and the education they provide. They are truly exemplary, and they reflect the quality of the teachers that we have in our district.

Teacher Of The Year 2023

Teachers are the heart of our educational system, and they play a critical role in shaping the future of our students and our community. They work tirelessly to inspire and motivate our students to achieve their full potential, and their hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed.

KCPS is looking forward to the future and will continue to prioritize the support and growth of our teachers. It is essential that we provide them with the resources and tools necessary to succeed in the classroom, as they play a vital role in preparing our students for success in college, career, and life.

Once again, congratulations to all of the 2023 Teachers of the Year.

 

We are so proud to have you as part of our KCPS family, and we look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure that every student in our district receives an exceptional education.
