Happy one-year anniversary to the KCPS bond! We're so excited to celebrate this historic investment in Kansas City's students. Visit KCPSBond.org to see the latest updates on all completed, in-progress, and upcoming projects.
Thank you to the educators, families, and students involved in the KCPS early learning program! The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has designated the program as “Exhibiting High Quality," an honor signifying the highest quality Pre-K classrooms in the state. This would not be possible without the hard work and collaboration of our entire Pre-K community!
"To our beloved Hale Cook teaching team Julie Broockerd & Endea Mutcherson, you earned the highest Missouri DESE Quality Assurance Report designation of Exhibiting High Quality! This recognition reflects your dedication, expertise, and the strong learning environment you create every day. Your work strengthens KCPS as a whole, and your impact is felt well beyond Hale Cook! The state sees it; our community sees it, and we deeply appreciate the excellence you bring to our district. Thank you for representing KCPS with such distinction and for making a meaningful difference for our students and families."
-Julia Wendt, KCPS Early Childhood Officer
