Parents As Teachers

The West Platte School District is excited to learn more about our future Bluejays! We are hoping to discover more about our families with young children (prenatal-5) in our school district. 

If you have or are expecting a child(ren) within this age range, please assist us by providing information for an early childhood survey. We are conducting this survey so may better meet the needs of the children and families in our community.  

If you have a young Blue Jay, please contact Ashley Spencer, Parents as Teachers coordinator at [email protected].  

- $10 million in scholarships available to artist and writers.

- All students in grades 7-12 can participate.

- The deadline for our region is January 9, 2015.
