BANGALORE: The Indian man seems to have given denim trousers a pass in the past 15 months, allowing non-denim cotton trousers to gain market share and wardrobe space.
The denim drop started during the Autumn-Winter fashion season of 2012, when coloured non-denim cotton trousers made a splash in India.
"For us, the non-denim trouser segment has grown 60-70% in the past 12 months, while denim has receded," said Suhail Sattar, co-founder and director of Hasbro Clothing, which retails brands such as Basics 029 and Genesis. For Hasbro, the split between denim and non-denim trousers is 55:45; it was 75:25 a year ago.

Secret Cooperation: Israel Deploys Nuclear Weapons on German-Built Submarines
A German shipyard has already built three submarines for Israel, and three more are planned. Now SPIEGEL has learned that Israel is arming the submarines with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. The German government has known about Israel's nuclear weapons program for decades, despite its official denials.
Germany is helping Israel to develop its military nuclear capabilities, SPIEGEL has learned. According to extensive research carried out by the magazine, Israel is equipping submarines that were built in the northern German city of Kiel and largely paid for by the German government with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. The missiles can be launched using a previously secret hydraulic ejection system. Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak told SPIEGEL that Germans should be "proud" that they have secured the existence of the state of Israel "for many years."
Israel has a policy of not commenting officially on its nuclear weapons program. Documents from the archives of the German Foreign Ministry make it clear, however, that the German government has known about the program since 1961. The last discussion for which there is evidence took place in 1977, when then-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt spoke to then-Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan about the issue.
The submarines are built by the German shipyard HDW in Kiel. Three submarines have already been delivered to Israel, and three more will be delivered by 2017. In addition, Israel is considering ordering its seventh, eighth and ninth submarines from Germany.
The German government recently signed the contract for the delivery of the sixth vessel. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, Chancellor Angela Merkel made substantial concessions to the Israelis. Not only is Berlin financing one-third of the cost of the submarine, around 135 million ($168 million), but it is also allowing Israel to defer its payment until 2015.
Merkel had tied the delivery of the sixth submarine to a number of conditions, including a demand that Israel stop its expansionist settlement policy and allow the completion of a sewage treatment plant in the Gaza Strip, which is partially financed with German money. So far, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has met none of the terms.
Check back on SPIEGEL International on Monday for the full English-language version of SPIEGEL's cover story on Germany's cooperation with Israel over its submarine program.

Green Thoughts, Green Shades
The poet's instinct is to shun or shed more knowledge
than he can swing or sing.
New Poets of England and America
GREEN THOUGHTS, GREEN SHADES is a book of original essays about lyric poetry written in English during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. What differentiates it from other recent collections concerned with the early modern period—to adopt momentarily the period nomenclature currently in use among historicist scholars—is the simple fact that all the essays printed here are written by practicing poets, by people who spend much of their lives thinking in verse and about verse. All the contributors are or have been distinguished teachers of poetry, often in workshop settings, sometimes in lecture halls at their schools and around the country; and almost all have written important criticism, some over the course of four decades, although only a few have concentrated their interpretive energies in print on poetry of the early modern period. Underlying the invitation issued to contemporary poets to write about lyrics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was, therefore, the potential novelty of the encounter itself. What might some of today's poets find of special interest in their forebears and worth retrieving for fellow readers of poetry? And of equal interest, what do their emphases tell us about their own poetry and, more broadly, about how the past continues to form the present?
To be more specific still: given that theoretical and political considerations have dominated the last two decades of "literary" criticism (even

Two middle-schoolers spiked their first-period teacher's coffee with vomit-inducing syrup of ipecac Monday because one of the boys was mad at her for repeatedly sending him to the office, according to a police report.
Two middle-schoolers spiked their first-period teacher's coffee with vomit-inducing syrup of ipecac Monday because one of the boys was mad at her for repeatedly sending him to the principal's office, according to a police report.
The teacher at Auburn's Sequoyah Middle School, in the Federal Way School District, later told police that she had punished the 13-year-old boy for being "disrespectful and defiant."
Tuesday, a King County juvenile-court commissioner cited the seriousness of the incident in ordering both boys held in detention while awaiting second-degree-assault charges. However, she said the 13-year-old could arrange for release under electronic home monitoring.
The second boy, 14, who police say brought the ipecac syrup to school from home, may not be released because he has a prior conviction for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl last year, the commissioner said. The teen was due to be sentenced on that charge today.

Charges were expected to be filed by Thursday, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's Office.
The boys took turns pouring the ipecac into the coffee mug of teacher Terese Pense, 39, while she wasn't looking because "she kept sending [the 13-year-old] to the office for things he didn't do and he was mad," according to a King County sheriff's report.
Pense saw the boys lingering at her desk and told them to return to their seats, the report says. A few minutes later, they both went to the boys' room and threw the ipecac bottle away.
The report says Pense noticed right away that something was wrong with the coffee, and then quickly fell ill and asked another teacher to take over her class.
Pense drove herself to a hospital for treatment, the report says.
The boys almost immediately bragged to a classmate about their stunt, and by third period they had been called to the office, where they were arrested by sheriff's deputies. Both were booked into the King County Youth Service Center.
Both boys were expelled from the school, said Deb Stenberg, a spokeswoman for the Federal Way School District.
As for Pense, "my understanding is she's doing fine and recovering at home," Stenberg said. The police report says she wants the boys prosecuted.
In court Tuesday, the older boy's tearful parents declined an opportunity to address the court commissioner, but the younger boy's mother said her son is a "really good kid."
"He doesn't get in any trouble," she said. "He doesn't pose any harm to the community."
The older boy was charged in juvenile court in February with exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl sometime during 2008, according to court documents in that case. He pleaded guilty to indecent exposure, and prosecutors had been recommending that he serve nine months of probation, 36 hours of community service and undergo a sexual-deviance evaluation.
Ipecac is made from the dried roots of the ipecacuanha plant, a flowering plant native to Brazil. It is available over the counter, and parents traditionally have kept it on hand in case a child swallows poison.
However, the American Academy of Pediatrics now advises against using ipecac at all because it can do more harm than good. It has sought to have the drug sold only by prescription.
Overdoses can cause uncontrollable vomiting, irregular heartbeats and breathing problems, among other serious effects.
In a case in April 2007, two Bainbridge Island 12-year-old girls were charged with third-degree felony assault after they were accused of trying to poison their teacher with strawberry lip gloss.
According to the charges, the girls, knowing their teacher, Kasey Jeffers, had a severe allergy to strawberries, put the lip gloss on her water bottle and coffee cup. The girls wanted to make their teacher ill to get out of a progress report, police said.
When the teacher drank from her cup while teaching a class at Sakai Intermediate School, she had a minor reaction to the strawberry lip gloss and suffered from watery eyes and shortness of breath, according to Bainbridge Island schools. She countered the symptoms using Benadryl and went home early.
Seattle Times staff reporter Sara Jean Green contributed to this report.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Hi from Adelaide, also downunder http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50736&th=10066#msg_50736 <![CDATA[Hi shapers,

 I'm Craig and I have been modelling in 3d for close to 20 years now but always producing products for someone elses vision. The great thing about Shapeways and the current proliferation of 3D printing is that I can now pump out the creations that have been in my head. So thats why I am here.

 I am a long time resident of Adelaide, in South Australia, but have also been fortunate to travel the world, with Egypt being one of my favourite places to date.

 I have created a shop and the first product I have dropped in there is a pyramid shaped raspberry pi case. If you check it out I'm sure you'll immediately notice that you can probably buy two "pi's" for the price of the Pyrapi, as I call it. That doesn't worry me though as I didnt want this to come across as just another pi case.

 One of the nice features in the apex of the case is that it incorporates mounts for a 40mm fan, and whilst the pi doesnt generate a lot of heat, the less heat in the case the better it will operate. There are some other non-obvious features which I can discuss if anyones interested. I would love some feedback so please let me know what think.

 I have a lot of other projects that I would love to drop into my shop, in particular some original space ship miniatures which i have been working on over the last ten years or so.

 I am a SolidWorks user and Certified Professional, but have used other high and low end 3d products to create many different types of great models. I also have a great deal of experience in the subtractive forms of Computer aided manufacturing with expertise in in MasterCAM and SolidCAM.

 If you have read this far, thanks for listening and I look forward to some feedback on my first models. If I get enough interest I will consider doing the redesign work to alLow the Pyrapi case to be printed in Sandstone, which would give that authentic look .

 Regards,
 Craig. ]]> CADPrime 2012-07-03T11:18:30-00:00 Re: Hi from Adelaide, also downunder http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50739&th=10066#msg_50739 <![CDATA[Welcome to Shapeways!

Ginger, I live in Derby, Kansas. My husband, Ted was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskins Tumor) in August 2008. His tumor was unresectable. We went to John's Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, Md. However,
he received followup treatment in Wichita. The surgeon in Wichita, Dr. Duane Osbourne was instrumental in setting us up with a colleague at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Pawlik who performed the surgery. Both wonderful! Dr. Osbourne is very familiar with CC. You might try to contact him and get an opinion. Ted's oncologist is Dr. Parva Reddy (Cancer Center of Kansas) in Wichita, he is also familiar with CC and his treatment plan has worked well for Ted. He was recommended to us by an oncologist specializing in Bile Duct Cancer from KU Med. Center. Ted also received daily radiation from Dr. Joseph Kelly at the Cyberknife Center in Wichita. Excellent doctor! If your daughter needs to have surgery you really need to be at a hospital like Mayos, MD Anderson or Johns Hopkins where a team of surgeons specializing in CC will be able to help you. The doctors I have mentioned above are in Wichita and able to advise you. Ted's tumor was unresectable but was treated with Xeloda and Radiation and he has responded well, to the point they can't see the tumor on the PET/CT scans and MRI tests that he has done every 3 months. It has been almost 3 years since his diagnosis and we are very grateful to all the doctors that treated him. If you would like to talk anytime, please let me know and I can share more information with you.

Re: Treatment Centers/Physicians (209 replies, posted in Hospitals)
My husband, Ted, has been treated by the following doctors:
Dr. Pawlik performed an 8 hour surgery on Ted, but a liver resection was not possible due to the extent of the tumor. He took out his gall bladder and performed a Roux en y to allow better drainage for the bile which has been instrumental in keeping his GI area functioning properly. Dr. Pawlik is highly regarded in this area of surgery and has performed many successful liver resections.

Re: Hernia anyone? (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My husband has a hernia right under his abdominal surgery incision sight. He developed this about 4 months after surgery. We had an appointment today with our Radiation Oncologist and he wants our surgeon to look at it to see if anything should be done. He really thinks it should be left alone but the hernia has grown since our last visit and he wants the surgeon's opinion because it is getting larger. He did tell us that the hernia is "flat" and shouldn't cause any problems but it does protrude and is annoying because he has to consistently push it back in to his chest. The hernia is also located very close to his external drain sight and that would make the surgery more difficult. I am really hoping our surgeon says he shouldn't go through the hernia repair because I really hate to see him go through surgery again and the risks of infection and other complications that could occur. My point is we were told by our oncologist and radiation oncologist to leave the hernia alone and neither one recommended surgery until the hernia got bigger and then they wanted us to consult with our surgeon just to be sure.
Make sure your doctor is aware of your hernia and be very careful not to strain yourself or lift anything heavy. My husband feels good and tends to try to do too much around the house, it is hard to keep him down. That could be why his hernia has grown. We were told that post operative hernias are very common.

Re: Delays and confusion (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I read your post and wanted you to know I am thinking of you. This is such a difficult journey and I so admire your strength. When you mentioned being tired of "the roller coaster of hope and despair", that is so true. This journey for many of us has been getting our hopes up one day only to be let down the next. The many posts I have read have given my husband and I the strength to continue to have hope and a postive attitude as well as the love of family, friends and prayer.
I wanted to share with you what our doctors told us about the PET scan and this might be helpful to you regarding the reason your doctors may want to do additional tests. Our doctors both in Wichita, Ks. and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. both ordered Pet Scans to help with determining if surgery was possible. For example, my husband had a PET scan before surgery to show the doctor whether or not the cancer had mestasized. My husband's results showed that the only "activity" on the PET scan was contained in the Bile Ducts. So the surgeon proceeded with surgery only to find out when he got in, that the tumor encased the major blood vessels on both sides of the liver and a resection was not possible. It has just recently been approved by our insurance company to use PET scans for bile duct cancer. Basically what the doctors told us the information from the PET scan is useful, but other imaging tests are needed and give them more information. I was always under the impression the PET scan showed more information but in the case of bile duct cancer, the doctors need additional tests. I don't know how helpful that information is to you but I wanted to share our experience with you. What we learned is that the PET scan is more useful to the oncologist and radiation oncologist rather than the surgeon. After chemo and radiation treatment, my husband is now being monitored every 3 months with a PET scan and CT scan. Please stay strong. I am thinking and praying for you. This site is and has been a blessing to my husband and I.

Re: Elevated LFT & Malaise (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My husband was diagnosed in Aug. 2008, unresectable in Sept. 2008, began 6 weeks of daily radiation in Nov. 2008 with 2 weeks on Xeloda and 1 week off. He completed 6 rounds of Xeloda -2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. He got along great and finished treatment at the end of May. The only side effects he had was hand and foot syndrome. He said it felt like his hands were very slick and dry and it was hard to hang on to things. His feet were very dry and our oncologist recommended Bag Balm (you can get it at WalGreens), to rub on his feet. He did say during the time he was on chemo certain foods did not taste good and had a "metal" taste. We used plastic utensils during this time to help with that symptom. He is now being monitored with imaging tests and blood tests. So far the tumor has shrunk and is not showing up on the tests. His latest CT-19 (tumor marker blood test) showed he was at 14. He previously had been at 650. We are very encouraged with the results from radiation and Xeloda. The treatment of Xeloda was recommended to us by the oncologists at Johns Hopkins and KU Medical Center.

Re: John Hopkins hospital and Mayo Clinic Need information please (7 replies, posted in Hospitals)
Dear Asif,
My husband was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma in August 2008. Our surgeon in our hometown made arrangements for us to go to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland to hopefully have a liver resection. Our surgeon was great but unfortunately my husband was not able to have the resection because the tumor involved the confluence of the bile duct as well as the portal vein and hepatic artery. The surgeon took out his gall bladder and rebuilt part of his bile duct so he could drain the bile from his liver. He also still has 2 plastic stents in his chest helping to drain. We were very happy with our surgeon. He worked for 8 hours on the tumor but just couldn't get it all out and it was more involved than what showed up on the imaging tests. The following is our surgeon's name and contact information:
Dr. Timothy Pawlik, M.D., M.P.H.
Division of Surgicial Oncology
600 N. Wolfe Street
Halsted 614
Baltimore, Maryland 21287
Phone 410-502-2387
Fax 410-502-2388
You can find his profile at www.hopkinsmedicine.org/surgery/faculty/Pawlik
I am sorry but I don't have an email address for him. I would highly recommend Dr. Pawlik. However, if you can't get an appointment with him, there are other surgeons at Johns Hopkins that perform bilary surgery. Johns Hopkins is experienced in this kind of surgery and research. My husband had excellent care at this hospital. Good luck and I will be thinking of you and your brother.

Re: Infections and antibiotics (12 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi Sarah,
My husband, Ted, has two bilary plastic stents on the left and right side of his bile ducts. They truly have saved his life allowing him to drain the bile internally so it doesn't backup in his liver. They are capped off and not attached with bags. He also had a roux n y to help him drain which was performed during his surgery. His bile duct tumor was deemed unresectable during surgery, however, the Roux n y has proven to be a lifesaver. Our oncologist told us that Ted will have the plastic stents in until he is in remission and then they will be replaced with metal stents. Right now they are working wonders and my husband's bilirubin levels are within a normal range. I wanted to share with you that everytime we go for a stent change, the next day my husband develops fever. The interventional radiologist has told us the stent changes are very hard on the patient's system with the possiblity of scar tissue developing and infections. We have learned at this point to treat the fever at home with Tylenol (as that is what they used when his fever was 103 degrees in the emergency room). We treat his fevers at home if they are l00-101 degrees. If the fever climbs to 102 as it has on 2 occasions then we call the doctor and go to the emergency room. We have an antibiotic (Levaquin) to use only when the doctor tells us to use it. He gave us directions not to use it frequently as Ted would develop an immunity to it and it could quit working for him. We have only used it with the higher fevers and after the high fevers for a week. His 100-101 fevers are occurring at fewer times now and usually with two Tylenols and a wet wash cloth on his forehead it goes down within two hours. However, your doctors may give you different advise including whether or not you should use Tylenol and what will work for your specific situation. I know we feel very grateful for our doctors and the care they have given my husband. But each case is different and everyone responds differently to various treatments. This has been our experience with fever and infections and thankfully we have been able to manage the low fevers up to this point.

Re: Bad news (41 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Kris and Hans,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep thinking positive. My husband was not able to have surgery and we were told that the tumor encased the portal vein and hepatic artery. He just finished 5 weeks of daily radiation and is currently taking a morning and evening dose of Xeloda. He has done very well so far. We will have an MRI done in February to see if the tumor has shrunk. If it has, we are hoping he will be able to have Cyberknife treatments as suggested by our Radiation Oncologist. There are so many treatments out there. Please ask your doctors about radiation. My husband got through the treatments with only fatigue as a side effect. Please let Kris know that her friends on this site are sending our love and prayers with lots of hope that she will get stronger each day.

Re: Info on Johns Hopkins & other treatment centers on the east coast (4 replies, posted in Hospitals)
I was thinking that Brachytherapy was the same as Theraspheres treatment. I'm probably wrong. Sorry! If you want to contact a wonderful Radiation Oncologist at Johns Hopkins with experience treating Bile Duct Cancer please contact Dr. Joseph Herman, Dept. of Radiation Oncology & Molecular Radiation Sciences, Phone # 410-614-3823, Fax# 410-502-1419. If you go into the Johns Hopkins website you can find his email address. He would be able to answer your questions about what kinds of treatments are being done at Johns Hopkins for Bile Duct Cancer. I would be hesitant on relying upon your doctor at Mayo's to tell you what treatments are being done at another treatment center. We found doctors in the same city are not always aware of what is being done as treatment for this cancer. I had better luck and quicker responses doing my own research. In my quest to find out more about Bile Duct Cancer, I did come across the following treatment centers in the East that focus on treating Bile Duct Cancer: Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York Presbyterian Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. I don't know anyone with experience as a patient at these hospitals, but found they kept coming up on sites that focus on treating Bile Duct Cancer. Keep the hope and thinking positive. My thoughts are with you in your journey to find treatment. I know how you feel.

Topic: New to group (2 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to introduce myself to you, although, I feel like I already know you. I found this website when my husband, Ted, was diagnosed with a Klatskin's Tumor (Cholangiocarcinoma) in August 2008. I can't begin to tell you what a lifesaving source of information this site has been for us. Until August my husband and I had never heard of Bile Duct Cancer. We were hit with the grim diagnosis and devasted. I came home from the hospital every night searching for information to help us understand what we were facing. Of all the research and websites this one has been the best!! I have learned so much from you all. I got into the habit of checking the discussion board every day for information about treatments, symptoms, caregiving, nutrition, etc. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We learned about the various types of treatments that have been successful in treating this cancer which has helped us as we talk with our surgeons, oncologist and radiation oncologist. Mostly we have learned there is hope and survivors and just because the doctors give you a devastating prognosis, don't give up. Thank you for restoring our strength and hope. My husband is 57 and is doing well. We are from Kansas and we were referred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland where he had an 8 hour surgery on Sept. 24th. Unfortunately, because of the location of the tumor and the fact it encased his hepatic and portal vein arteries close to the liver, the liver resection we had hoped for could not be performed. Our surgeon removed his gall bladder and performed a roux en y to help his bile drain normally. He currently has 2 stents in the confluent area of his bile duct to keep them open. These tubes extend out of his chest, but he has no external drain bags, although he had bags early in his diagnosis. Currently we are back in Kansas where he is receiving daily radiation treatments and chemo (Xeloda). So far his only side effect has been fatigue. Our hope is that the tumor will shrink enough that he will be able to receive Cyberknife treatments in Wichita, Ks. We won't know until further testing is done in January. I was shy about posting on the site but then I felt like if our experience can help someone else I need to do it. I know how much all of your postings have helped me as a caregiver and I am so grateful to you all. Thank you!!

Re: Info on Johns Hopkins & other treatment centers on the east coast (4 replies, posted in Hospitals)
I am new to this forum, but I wanted to respond to your recent posts about treatment centers closer to your home. My husband has been diagnosed with intrahepatic bile duct cancer (Klatskin's Tumor) since August 08. We were referred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland and were there for 5 weeks - a long way from our home in Kansas. We had a wonderful surgeon and met with a great Radiation Oncologist who performs Brachytherapy. The doctors at this hospital specialize in Bile Duct Cancer and are very up to date with current treatments. They present your case to a team of liver surgeons weekly and together they determine what should be done. My husband had surgery on Sept. 24th but unfortunatley the tumor encased his portal vein and hepatic artery and they could not perform the liver resection we had hoped for. They removed his gall bladder and rebuilt his bile duct with a procedure called a roux en y to help drain the bile. He has 2 stents, one on each side of the confluence of the bile duct close to the liver and now the newly built roux en y. Recuperating from surgery was difficult but he has done very well. We are back in Kansas and he is currently receiving daily radiation treatments and chemo (Xeloda). He has gotten along well. Our hope is that the tumor will shrink enough that our radiation oncologist will be able to administer Cyberknife treatments. We won't know until the middle of January. I wanted to post this to let you know that Johns Hopkins is a wonderful hospital and we are so thankful that we received treatment there. Our surgeon was brilliant and we were so pleased with the care he provided us. My husband's surgery took 8 hours and our surgeon did all that he could before he decided to abandon the liver resection. My husband is doing well at this time and he is 57 years old. It sounds like your boyfriend is young and would have the gift of strength and youth on his side. Please don't give up. We were given a dismal prognosis in August and faith, hope and prayers have brought us a long way. If you would like to ask me anything about Johns Hopkins please e mail me and I would be glad to give you our doctor's names and any other information you need. Good luck.

In an effort to ensure that students living in the Harrisonville School District receive the education they deserve, the district will be continuing the Residency Verification program.
As part of a continuing effort to tighten Harrisonville Schools residency requirements, all families will be asked to provide proof of residency each year as part of the enrollment process. This annual requirement will help ensure that students who are not residents of the school district are not attending district schools. This program will save the district funds by eliminating the costs of educating non-resident students.
Residency can be verified with one of the following:
• A current, original utility bill that is no more than 30 days old. The bill must be in the resident's name, and no final or disconnect notices will be accepted. Utility statements include gas, electric, and water. Telephone, cable, and other statements will not be accepted. Please make sure the utility statement includes your name and address.
• A rental/lease agreement including names of all occupants, dates of agreement and the name, address, phone number and signature of the landlord.
• A contract to build or purchase a home within the Harrisonville School District reflecting a possession or closing date within 90 calendar days of the first day of school attendance.
Once again this year, the district will provide the opportunity for parents to verify residency electronically or in person prior to the Residency Verification dates. You may e-mail your proof of residency to firstname.lastname@example.com or you may bring your residency papers to the Administrative Offices between 7:30 a.m.-noon or 1-3:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 31. If you use the e-mail verification, please be sure the scanned document includes your name and address. Also, please include your name and your students' names and grades in the e-mail portion. Parents who complete residency electronically or in person do not have to attend the Residency Verification events.
Harrisonville will continue to offer the Residency Verification events for families to present proof of residency. Those dates and times are as follows:
• Thursday, August 1, 4-7 p.m.
• Friday, August 2, 8 a.m.-Noon
Prior to attending Residency Verification, the district is also asking parents to update their student's information on-line through the district's Parent/Student Link service (Parent Portal) at www.harrisonvilleschools.org
Representatives will be on hand at Harrisonville High School, 1504 E. Elm, to accept proof of residency documents and answer questions. All families should enter through the Commons Area door of Harrisonville High School.
The event will also provide parents and students an opportunity to complete all back-to-school business in one place. High school and middle school students can pick up schedules. High school students will also be able to purchase parking passes. Elementary students will receive their class placement letters at this time as well. The food service department, bus company, and school nurses will be on hand to answer any questions.
Additional information is available on the district website, www.harrisonvilleschools.org. Questions may be directed to the district office at 816-380-2727.
