Hi KACP KIPPsters and families!
It's been a very productive and fun Quarter 1!! I hope you all enjoyed time with family and friends over Fall Break.

Parent-Teacher Conferences! 🤝
On Friday, 10/23, we sent an invite for our upcoming Parent-Teacher conferences on November 3rd!
If you'd like to attend and meet with your KIPPster's teacher, please sign up using the QR code on the invite or the link sent to your email Friday afternoon!
We'll have limited spots available, so please sign up as soon as possible. The conferences will last 15 minutes per KIPPster, and you'll be able to meet with all general education teachers. This is an opportunity for you to briefly connect with your KIPPster’s teachers and discuss grades and student needs to ensure your student’s success.
If you would like more time to speak with a particular teacher or have a longer meeting, please schedule a separate appointment.
As always, please feel free to email us at kacp@kippnashville.org or call our front office (629-208-7525) if you have any questions!
Fun Fall Activities Coming Up!
This Friday, 10/03, we're saying goodbye to October with fun activities, and we'd love all our KIPPsters to join.
Book Character Day
We're promoting literacy and reading by letting our KIPPsters dress up as their favorite book character. Please note: no masks, hoodies, Crocs, large props, or weapons.
KIPP Store
Our Culture Team will have a variety of hot dogs available for purchase (using KIPP Dollars) during lunch on Friday ($400 needed)
Pumpkin Decorating Contest
KIPPsters and their families are encouraged to bring a decorated pumpkin and participate in the contest. We'll have one winner per grade level! No carved pumpkins allowed! Make sure to tag them correctly with your KIPPster's name and Homeroom
Grade Level Treats
Your KIPPster can bring school-appropriate treats and candy to share with their classmates.
Chromebooks are here! 💻
Starting Monday, 8/17, our KIPPsters were assigned a Chromebook for their daily use. Please read the computer expectations provided in the yellow folder during Orientation Day.
If you signed it during Open House, we'll have it in our system.
If you didn't sign the handbook by 8/28, your KIPPster won't be able to use their Chromebook. Make sure to complete the form as soon as possible.
As a friendly reminder, each KIPPster is responsible for their assigned computer. If they damage it or break it, you might have to pay a fee starting at $100 and up to $175. Remind your KIPPster to take care of the technology!
SLA Cafeteria Menu! 🍞🍴🍟
Please check the SLA website to review the daily menu we're serving in the cafeteria! Parents are welcome to bring lunch for their KIPPsters; however, deliveries are not allowed and will be sent back.
Occupational Surveys are still needed!
Under TN State Law, we must request an occupational survey for every KIPPster every year. We're currently at 78%, but we want to be at 100%! If we haven't received your copy, we'll be contacting you soon! If you want to fill one out, you can find a blank form here.
