Kickapoo Families,

Welcome back students! We hope each of you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

A reminder to stay up to date on your students grades. 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
at Kickapoo High School. You will find much, much more on our new website and you can

The best way to stay in the know is to check the calendar and daily announcements
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.

Our Ecosystem.” Please see the link below for more details.
Currently the project is only $235 from being fully funded. Please share with your family,
friends, businesses, and colleagues as we hope to have this project fully funded in the next 10 days. Thank you for considering.

Drop Off & Pick up
Families - Please do NOT drop off your students on the streets. Even if it is near
the crosswalk this is dangerous for your child and those driving around you. We don’t want
anyone begin injured. Please do your part and go through the carline.

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)!

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
NO call this week due to only two days of school last week. Calls will resume Monday,
Dec. 3rd.
If your student is earning 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.
Thank you!
