May is Mental Health Awareness month. 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 youth experience a mental health condition (National Alliance on Mental Health). If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health and need help, please feel free to reach out to any school personnel and we will try to help you find the resources to meet your needs. Resources are available on the school website Mental Health Resources-Kickapoo Schools. If you are in distress, a 24/7 hotline option is 800-273-TALK (8255) or in case of an emergency, please dial 911. You are not alone!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
We would like to take the time to thank the Kickapoo Staff for all the great things they do! The extra efforts to make a difference for Every Kid Every Day are unsurpassed and greatly appreciated. Their ability to be flexible in the current learning environment and do their best to help each student be as successful as possible has been phenomenal. We are so thankful for the staff we have and all that they do! If you have a special teacher that has made a difference in your life we encourage you to take time this week to thank them with an email or a call.
Thank You and Go Panthers!
