We are excited to welcome visitors to Siegrist for lunch during the 4th Quarter. Please take a moment to sign up by clicking HERE and let us know if you have any questions!
Reminders Before Visiting:
Please sign up prior to arriving at school.
Bring a state-issued ID to sign in.
Visitors must be listed on the student’s SIS K-12 account or parent permission must be received at the office prior to the visit.
Verify your student’s lunch time before arrival.
Please keep in mind that we have limited seating for visitors. Because of limited space, only two adult visitors will be able to join the student for lunch.
Lunch visitors will need to bring their own lunch with them. Lunch will not be available, for visitors, to purchase in the cafeteria.
Due to the need for protecting the learning environment and need to have a flexible schedule, we will not host lunch visitors on MAP testing days.
Parents who show up for lunch without signing up will be added if there is an open spot, but denied if not. The lunch can be passed on to the student, and the office can help the parent sign up for a future date.
If you have any additional questions or needs please contact our school office @ 816-858-5977 We are looking forward to a great 4th Quarter at Siegrist. We are excited to welcome lunch visitors and thank you for your understanding and support. All the best, Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton

Watch D.O.G.S.
What is Watch D.O.G.S?
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement, educational initiative of the National Center For Fathering. There are two primary goals of the Watch D.O.G.S. program.
1) To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.
WATCH D.O.G.S. began in 1998 in a single school in Springdale, Arkansas and has since grown into a national recognized program that has brought hundreds of thousands of fathers and father figures into the school classrooms and hallways across the country, creating millions of hours of "in school" volunteer time and having a tremendously positive impact on the educational process. Today more than 4,049 schools in 46 states plus DC participate in Watch D.O.G.S. Currently, there are Watch D.O.G.S. programs in China, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Barbados.
Who Are Watch D.O.G.S.?
Watch D.O.G.S. are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at an official Watch D.O.G.S. school.
