Census 2020 Coming Soon
Shape Your Future in Park Hill
You'll soon have the opportunity to make sure you're counted in the 2020 Census! As the U.S. Constitution requires every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau will count every person living in our country. Starting in mid-March, every home will receive a questionnaire, which asks about the people living in the home, including their names and demographic information, such as age, sex and race. You can respond online, on the phone or through the mail.
It is important for all of us to take 10 minutes to participate, because the results impact everyone in our schools. The data determines how the government spends more than $675 billion across the nation, including funding for school lunches, services and support for low-income families, education grants, community classes and more. In addition, the census determines how we are represented on the state and federal levels.
The 2020 census records will be confidential until 2092.
For more information, please visit https://2020census.gov.
COVID-19
As the level of alert about the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, increases across the globe, and as we respond to the state of emergency declared by the mayor of Kansas City, we are staying in close contact with our local public health officials and continuing to take precautions here in Park Hill. We will continue to keep you updated through these emails, and you can find all our updates on Park Hill's website.
Cultural Arts Event for 3rd-5th Graders
