Kickapoo Families,

We hope each of you are doing well.
We encourage you to continue to keep in close communication with teachers and counselors
if you have ANY questions at all. We are here to serve you and your student.

Also, please inform other Kickapoo families of this communication. We want as many
people as possible to be in the loop of what is happening at KHS.

However, a reminder the information I share here is NOT all inclusive to what is happening

as they are updated each day and can be found in the left column. I would recommend
checking this daily to stay informed of the KHS happenings.

Kickapoo announcements for Oct. 15 - 19, 2018

Kickapoo Families,

Cool and wet weather replaced the summer like conditions of last week and I’m wondering
where did Fall go? You just have to love the weather in the Ozarks. As they say
‘If you don’t like it just wait a few hours because it will change.’

Thank you for a great 1st quarter at KHS. We have much to be thankful for and we are
looking forward to the next quarter to begin on Tuesday.

With the end of the 1st quarter please continue to monitor students grades HERE via
eSchool Home Access. Teachers will be finalizing these grades over the next few days
and online report cards will be available by the end of the week.

Need your password? Contact the main office at 523-8500 for details.

We do NOT have school for students on Monday, Oct. 15 as teachers will be engaged
in professional learning.
