Kake City School District

Kake City School District has been informed of a statewide student walkout scheduled for today, April 4th, at 11:00 a.m. Social media posts promoting this event characterize it as a protest in response to the recent veto of SB 140 and the subsequent failure to override that veto. Parents must understand that the school does not officially endorse or sponsor this walkout. KCSD neither encourages nor discourages student involvement in this activity. We fully respect our students’ First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly. Students who choose to participate in the walkout will not face disciplinary action. As a district, we recognize and honor their advocacy. However, unexcused absences resulting from the walkout will be treated as such, and standard consequences will apply. Additionally, KCSD acknowledges the rights of school employees to engage in political activities during their time. Staff members will not participate in walkouts or protests while on duty and will maintain neutrality on political issues when interacting with students. Our top priorities remain the safety of our students and the maintenance of a secure learning environment within each school community. We understand that some students may prefer to stay in class rather than participate in the walkout, and we strive to ensure that all students feel safe and respected, regardless of their choice.

A third-party local evaluator evaluates Kake School's 21st CCLC after-school program yearly. Our evaluator is Cynthia, and she visits twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. She looks over the criteria and goals that the 21st CCLC is supposed to meet, observes a day of programming, and evaluates if the program meets the goals. All the activities from the year are included in the report. She then writes a report with the afterschool director. This report changes yearly and can be found on the KCSD web page, KCSD Resources. Older copies are available upon request

Hi parents, we have a new session of After school starting this week. Along with continuing archery and arts and crafts, we will also be doing robotics, building Legos (that move and have purpose), and practicing our reading. If you want your student to stay, let their classroom teacher or myself know and we'll make sure they stay afterschool. If your student NEEDS ACADEMIC HELP, they can always come to the afterschool program Mon-Thurs. 3-5 and only work on homework/missing assignments. They just need to come to Ms. Grant's room in the elementary.
