Dear Parents:

 

We are in the process of compiling our mail-in registration packets.  These will be sent home with students the week of May 12, 2008.   This is a great way to easily register your child without having to come to the registration on August 12, 2008.

 

Please continue to keep our students safe by only dropping off or picking up students at the curb along Kingsley Street.  I am very concerned that someone will be injured when vehicles stop in the right lane.  It is an accident waiting to happen with all of the traffic on this busy road.  I encourage you to use the north parking lot for drop off and pick up as much as possible.

 

Congratulations to the KJHS Jazz Band for finishing second in the state at the State of Illinois Jazz Festival held at Illinois State University the first weekend in April!   A total of 17 junior high school bands from around the state competed for the title.   The jazz band will perform at all of the lunches on May 16 in the KJHS cafeteria.  

 

We will be sending out letters inviting students and their parents to our Annual Awards Program on Tuesday, May 20.  The sixth grade program will be at 6:00 p.m., the seventh grade program will be at 7:00 p.m., and the eighth grade program will be at 8:00 p.m.

 

There are many opportunities for your children to be involved in camps in our community this summer.  Information is available in the main office at KJHS.  

 

The last hour of school will be on Friday, May 30.  Seventh and eighth grade students will report to Neuman Gym and sixth grade students will report to Arends Gym for yearbook signing.  Dismissal will be at 9:35 a.m.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Lynette Mehall, Principal
