I'm not quite sure how it happened, but the end of the first quarter has come and gone! We must be in some kind of time warp, because it seems like we just started school yesterday. Never the less, we are getting to a very busy time of the year so here are some suggestions for the coming weeks.
1. Don't hesitate to notify teachers if you have questions about your child's progress in class. We are always available by phone or email.
2. The next eight weeks are full of fun events, both in and out of school and it can be easy for students to fall behind. Maintaining constant communication is a great way to avoid end of the semester surprises.
3. Regularly check the parent portal and teacher websites to track past, present, and future student assignments. We have awesome tools for teachers, students, and parents for greater active participation at your disposal. Don't forget they are there! If you have questions or concerns, please contact the teacher(s) right away.
4. I encourage you and your child to be a part of the many upcoming school activities. Post season volleyball and football seasons are underway and our teams are doing well. Basketball season is also right around the corner. Our all school play is coming up in a couple of weeks, as well as our Veterans Day celebration. These are a great opportunity to see KHS students showing their performance abilities. There will also be band and choir concerts in December. Our students are working hard preparing for these events and I an excited to see their many talents.
5. Take time to enjoy the upcoming months! It is easy to slip into survival mode and go from one event to the next. I hope you have the chance to enjoy what your child(ren) are a part of. I am amazed at their talents and thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to see them in action!
In closing, we are always reflecting on our practices to improve how we help students achieve to their fullest potential. We know this is not their final stop and we recognize the awesome role we have in helping them prepare for their next step. We believe very strongly in what we do at KHS, and I want to thank you for entrusting us with your child. Have a great 2nd quarter!
