Congratulations are in order for Mr. Kevin Hogan! Last week, Mr. Hogan was randomly chosen to win a free two-year lease at Two Light Luxury Apartments as a part of the Kansas City Power & Light District partnership with KCPSEF.

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.

Did You Know? KCPS Students Eat for Free!

All KCPS students can eat for free at school — there is no need to apply or qualify based on family income. This is because KCPS has community eligibility to participate in the National School Lunch Program.

However, most of our neighboring districts do not have community eligibility. Over the next few weeks, you may see news stories or commercials about needing to apply for free or reduced-price meals as pandemic programs end. You do not need to apply for free or reduced-price meals if your child attends KCPS. We have already qualified as a district, and we are excited to be serving students healthy, nutritious meals at no cost to our families!
