Kickapoo announcements for Oct. 8 - 12, 2018

Kickapoo Families,

I hope you enjoyed the summer like weekend. It looks as though cooler temperatures

are on the way later this week.

This is the final week of the 1st quarter. Please continue to monitor students grades HERE

via eSchool Home Access. 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.

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

at Kickapoo High School. You will find much, much more on our new website and you

can find it HERE. The calendar and daily announcements 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.

I would also encourage you to connect with us via social media as we share what’s going

on at KHS. Check us out on

Drop Off & Pick up

Thank you to those of you who are safely dropping off and picking up your students. We

are thankful for you watching out for ALL students.

Our number one priority is the safety of our students/your child(ren)!

With this we need everyone to please do NOT drop off students in the middle of the

street (Jefferson and/or Primrose).

Also, please DO NOT park in local business parking lots. Thank you.

We allow students in the building beginning at 7:20 each morning and classes start

at 7:50 Monday - Thursday and at 8:20 on Friday’s.

Thank you for making KHS as safe as possible for ALL students.

Ignite Info - All students received their Chromebooks on the first day of school or when

they enrolled if after the first day. This information provides insurance details. You can

learn even more about IGNITE here.

Phone calls regarding D’s/F’s

If your student is receiving a D and/or F in any of their classes you will be receiving

a phone call encouraging you to go to eSchool Home Access to check your child's grades.

I would also recommend you connect with the teachers and counselors to find out how

we can partner to ensure your student has success in ALL classes.

PTSA - We currently have 8 business and 99 individual members. We’d love to have

you and/or your business join. Click HERE for links to the forms.

As a reminder we do offer a PTSA scholarship to graduating seniors. The total dollar

amount available depends on our memberships and donations. Please note the student

must also be a member of PTSA as well.

Thank you to everyone who has joined to date.

FLU shots

Kickapoo will host a flu shot clinic on Friday, Nov. 16th. Click HERE for consent forms

and other information. These forms are due to the KHS nurses by Nov. 1st.

Bright Bytes survey

As part of the IGNiTE teaching and learning initiative, the school district partnered

with BrightBytes, an educational research and analytics organization that will help us

learn more about our schools’ technology use for student learning. The survey should take

approximately 10 minutes to complete and will be open through October 19.

Please select parent and then type in Kickapoo.
