Park Hill is excited to partner with Children’s Mercy Hospital to host a Prepped and Ready event. Prepped and Ready is a presentation that equips parents and guardians with knowledge and skills to help their teens transition from childhood to post-adolescence. The presentation focuses on what parents and guardians should know to avoid crises by empowering them to take on hard and sometimes uncomfortable topics such as eating disorders, home safety (storage of firearms, medications, etc.), self-care, substance use (including vaping), and suicide prevention. Developed by Dr. Shayla Sullivant, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at CMH, associate professor of pediatrics at the UMKC School of Medicine, and assistant professor at the KU School of Medicine, this presentation helps parents and guardians anticipate and address problems before they become too big.

Park Hill is hosting this presentation on Wednesday, March 29, 6:30-7:30, at Lakeview Middle School (held in lieu of a March episode of the Family Webinar Series). The event we are hosting is actually part of a research study conducted by CMH and those who attend and complete the pre- and post-assessments will earn a $35 gift card and a safety toolkit. Child care and snacks will be provided. RSVP is strongly recommended by clicking here.

PHSD will send out the notice of the cancelation or delayed start for students using several communications:

• District and school websites
• Text alerts to families - To sign up for text alerts, Text “Y” to 67587.
• Email newsletter
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Local media

• All students will have distance learning on an AMI day from 9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., with a break from noon to 1 p.m.
• Students should check their online learning platform (Schoology or Seesaw) at 9 a.m. to see what teachers have planned for the day.
• The Adventure Club school-aged child care program will still be available for those who are already signed up, from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We might announce a two-hour delayed start for students if there are dangerous weather, temperature or road conditions in the morning that are forecasted to improve later in the day.

If we announce a delayed start for students, school will start two hours after normal time at every school, and morning bus pick-up times will be two hours after the normal pick-up times. School will end at its normal time, and afternoon bus drop-off times will be the same as usual.

If a parent or guardian believes, based on personal circumstances, that conditions pose a safety concern for their child to get to or from school, they can call the school for an excused absence.

• No early drop-off: Students must be dropped off at school two hours later on delayed-start days.
• Adventure Club: Adventure Club will still be available at the regular times for those families who are already signed up to use Adventure Club every day. Since this is not a full snow day, Adventure Club will not be available for families who signed up to use it only on snow days.
• Bridges: The Bridges program will be canceled on delayed-start days.
• Nutrition: School meals will be available at all schools. Breakfast will be a grab-and-go option.
• Early release days: If we have a delayed start on a day scheduled for early release, there will be no early release that day.

A student should not be in attendance and will be sent home with any of the following:

• Temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater
• Vomiting and/or Diarrhea
• Painful sore throat
• Constant cough accompanied by other symptoms

Student may return to school when free of above symptom(s) for 24 hours without any fever-reducing medication or other medication to relievesymptom(s).
