Kuna families
We've been working hard to prepare for your children to return to school. We appreciate your patience as we implement a new student information system. The change from Tyler SIS to PowerSchool has left items as works in progress. Here's what you can expect to land in your email boxes in these remaining days before the Aug. 25 start of school:
📰 PowerSchool - Back to School Update
In advance of releasing teacher assignments and student schedules, we'll ask you to review and update your information in PowerSchool.
It is essential your family's email, telephone number, and emergency contacts are correct.
👀 Look for an email next week with instructions on accessing your Power School Parent Portal Account.
▶️ Apply soon for free- or reduced priced meals
The federal government eliminated the program that provided free breakfast and lunch for all students. The school board set prices for meals on Tuesday for breakfast and lunch. Free and reduced price meals are still available to those who apply and qualify.
👀 Look for an email next week that the application is available.
🆕 New Kuna School District parent app
We also plan to roll our new Kuna School District app in the coming days. The KSD parents beta testing the app are giving it rave reviews.
The KSD app allows parents to:
- Customize their news feed -- social media, school news, calendars, & more -- to the schools they choose
- Quickly find contact information for their child's school
- Connect to PowerSchool to follow student attendance, grades, etc.
- Find bus stop information
- Pay for meals & more
👀 Look for an email next week with how to access this from app store.
