HAPPY HOMECOMING FRIDAY!

Wildkat Fans, alumni, and community members,

The Student Council Team along with the administration has been working on plans to keep homecoming as traditional as possible with all the rain we have received this week. It is no surprise the ground is beyond saturated now. Below are some items that will make this year’s homecoming day festivities look a little different.

• Please plan on arriving early for the parade. The school will block Z highway for a few minutes as the parade begins from the school to the pool so that parade entries can get in line when the parade starts. (Several parade trailers will be parked alongside the school so that students are not walking in wet and muddy grassy areas.)

• Due to parade line-up changes, parade organizers are encouraging parents to drop off water bottles and candy for the parade prior to the start of the parade. Vehicles will not be able to drive along the line-up route to drop items off.

• For tonight’s game, the city and the school will be blocking off several areas where fans normally park. The reason for blocking some areas off is that there is currently 2-3 inches of water standing in the grass. The school is encouraging fans to arrive early tonight and consider using the student parking lot along with other paved areas for parking. Grass areas may create a scenario where vehicles will struggle to get out at the end of the game.

Although it has been a wet week, the sun is currently shining and students are excitedly finishing floats, door decorations, and preparing for a fun filled day. We encourage fans to join us for the pep assembly at 12:15 in the elementary gym followed by the parade at 1:15.

Let’s Go Kats!

Tommorow night is our first official Homecoming activity! We have the Community Pep Rally at 6:30PM at the football field followed by the bonfire in the student parking lot!

As a reminder the Scoop Skool Bus food truck will be at the community pep rally on Wednesday! They will be parked near the football concession stand serving from 4:30PM-7:30PM.

Check out the menu for Wednesday night and see the rest of the events that STUCO has planned for the week!

Wednesday night, September 30, at the community pep rally the court will be introduced and we will learn more about our court members!

King City Patrons,
With Homecoming next week, the District is looking forward to celebrating our students during the Homecoming parade on October 2, 2026.

For those interested in volunteering to participate by pulling a float in the parade, driving a sports team, or otherwise driving a vehicle in the parade, please understand that the District’s insurance does not cover trailers, tractors, or other personal vehicles. The District has confirmed this with its insurance provider, which clarified that it does not provide coverage for this type of event. As a result, any insurance coverage relevant to participation in the Homecoming parade falls on the owner/operator of the vehicle to procure.

While there have been no accidents during a Homecoming parade for at least the last 10 years, the District recommends that drivers acquire their own insurance.

The District is excited to have members of the community willing to support our students and to participate in the Homecoming parade. We hope parents continue to participate in this long time tradition.

(The following information was a quote from 3 years ago. The rates may have increased slightly, but increasing your liability insurance coverage for one month is will not have a significant impact on your insurance.) I have checked with my personal insurance company about how best to make sure I am properly insured and they suggested upping the liability insurance from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The cost increase on my vehicle was $9 a month. I was also told once the event concluded I could go back to my previous coverage.

While accidents during a parade are very rare, the district hopes this information assists you when deciding to drive a vehicle in the parade.

Sincerely,
Danny Johnson
King City R-I Superintendent
