Class of 2027 What's Happening
August 30, 2024
Do you love 2027 as much as we do? Get Involved! 👇
Class Office:
If you are interested in a leadership role and want to be a part of class office, submit a short video on why you should be a class officer. Videos need to be sent to to Dr. Gavin, Ms. Ponciroli and Mrs. Goodmann by 9/13. Elections will be held on 9/26.
Class Committee:
Turkey Day hallways will be here before we know it! If you are wanting to be involved in class committee and help with the hallways let Mrs. Goodmann or Ms. Ponciroli know. We will make sure you are added to the GroupMe where more information will start to be sent out.
KHS offers the PSAT (practice SAT) test to all sophomores!
Attendance Policy/Tardy Reminder!
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.
Check In/Out Refresher!
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!

IP Students
Congrats on earning this privilege! Make sure to do the following to prepare for the school year:
1. Review IP Procedures.
2. If you are new to IP, go to the library for your IP period during the first week of school.
3. Complete your Edpuzzle video in the IP Schoology Course.
4. Commit to doing online attendance on time every day.
Students who do not follow IP sign in procedures will be placed in a study block. IP is a privilege extended to students who have demonstrated responsibility and obtained some level of academic success. You can do this simple little thing each day as I see you do many more complex things in the classroom and athletic field.
