All sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT on Tuesday, October 17. To help students prepare, the PSAT Student Guide includes valuable test-taking tips and an official practice test.

Room assignments will be posted outside the school counseling office and emailed to students before the test.
Kingsway High School would like to invite parents to become involved with their children’s education by joining KHSAC. The Kingsway High School Advisory Council (KHSAC) is an organization that consists of parents, teachers, and administrators from the high school. Its purpose is to afford the opportunity for involvement and input into school-related issues by all the constituent groups who are members of or are served by the school community. It is the intent of the organization to foster an atmosphere of empowerment and cooperation that will promote excellence in our school.
Our first meeting will be on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The meeting will be held from 6:30pm-7:30pm in Seminar Room 100 at the high school.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Mrs. Wagner at wagnerb@krsd.us.

Fall 2024 MAP Student Progress Reports will be accessible in the Genesis Parent Portal this week. Look for a notification from Genesis that a new document is available.
To assist families in making sense of the MAP assessment and individual student results, a quick reference sheet, video tutorial, and additional resources are available on our Kingsway website (here). Please reach out to your student’s teacher with any questions related to course-based academic progress. Additionally, school counselors and case managers are prepared to answer MAP-related questions specific to your student.

What is Anonymous Alerts?
Anonymous Alerts allows students, parents, and other school personnel to anonymously submit any sensitive or urgent student issues quickly to school officials. Students, parents, and school personnel can submit reports such as bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, hazing, drug or alcohol use during school, vaping during school, threats against the school, and more. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.
In an immediate emergency, always call 9-1-1.
Anonymous Alerts is monitored between 6:30am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday when school is in session. Outside of these hours, please directly contact an administrator.

Each day, we communicate to students that they must have a plan for SMART Lunch (both L1 and L2). Students have access to a SMART Weekly Schedule in order to help them plan. Students are expected to be in a location for both L1 and L2. The graphic provides the letter days that academic departments are available during SMART. Please speak with your child/children about having a plan for SMART.
Here is the SMART Weekly calendar that students are sent each week. This will help students/parents to know what clubs/activities are meeting each week as well as what teachers are available during L1 or L2.
