Updated Bus Routes....Please Read
Due to an increase in student enrollment and construction on Platte Purchase we have modified many of our Pathfinder bus routes. An email went out to families Friday afternoon with updated bus routes and times. This did not impact all families, but did modify 6 out of our 8 routes. If you have any questions please contact Pathfinder Elementary at (816) 436-6670 on Monday and we will be able to assit you.
The changes in routes will provide a more efficient bus ride for our students and help with arrival and dismissal times. Thank you for your continued support as we establish our processes.

Upcoming Emergency Drills
Evacuation Drill (Fire Drill):
Our stutdents and staff did great with the evacuation drill. We were able to exit the building in 1 minute and 33 seconds.
Severe Weather Drill:
Our severe weather drill will be during the week of September 20th. We will utilize our intecom system for notification of this drill. A severe weather drill has the students take cover in their classrooms and move to the lower area of our building. We will utilize this emergency procedure if we are under a tornado warning.
Hold In Place:
During the week of October 4th we will conduct a Hold In Place drill throughout our school. A "hold in place" is used if we have a medical emergency and need students to refrain from moving in the hallways, have police activity in the area, or have a situation in the school that requires students to remain in the classroom. During the drill an announcement will be made over the intercom, classroom doors will be closed and locked, and students will not be allowed to move about in the hallway. Learning continues in the classroom as normal until the hold in place is lifted.
Earthquake Drill:
The week of October 21st we will participate in a nationwide Earthquake Drill. Students will be instucted to take cover under their desks and hold on to something stable in the classroom.
Althrough we rarely use any of these emergency procedures it is always important to practice and be prepared if they were to occur.
