Class of 2027 What's Happening

If you did not take a photo on the Back to School Days in August, be prepared to have your photo taken on Thursday, October 3. We want to see you in the yearbook! You can also have retakes if you are unhappy with your photo!

Peer Tutoring is available in the library from 3-4pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Click the link below for more information!

Please call or email Stacy Denton of any known absence or tardy. You must give an approved policy reason for the tardy/absence otherwise it will be marked as unexcused. (*running late is not an approved reason for an excused tardy. While we appreciate you calling to let us know, please note it will not be excused)

Process:

1. If your student is marked absent and we don''t hear from you by 9am, we will send an email home.

2. If by days end, we don't hear from you a phone call will go home alerting you of the unknown absence.

3. Your student will be marked as unexcused and issued consequences the following morning with no correspondence. You will be notified by email of the consequence given.

Consequences:

Unexcused Absences: 1 detention per class period

Truancy (all day absence): 2 detentions

Tardies: 5=Warning, 10=1 detention, 20=1 day ISS, 30=2 days ISS

As always please refer to the KSD attendance policy for further information.

While we love our parents, we don't need to see you to sign your student in/out! Yay for you! Please call the 10th grade office 213-6117 (or email me, Stacy Denton) at the earliest possible time and I will send your student an ehallpass to be excused from class. If/when they return to school, they will need to sign back in at the 10th grade office. This is very important as it ensures correct attendance. We appreciate all that you do!
