Dear KJHS Families:

 

Congratulations to all of our KJHS chorus, band, and orchestra students (and their directors) who performed at the Music Boosters Spaghetti Supper at NCWHS on Monday, November 2.  Every KJHS performance was excellent and showed how outstanding our KJHS programs (and teachers) really are!  Thank you to all of you parents who encourage your child’s participation in this program.  My parents were both music teachers, so I recognize how valuable these experiences are.

 

Our second Activity Night for KJHS 7th and 8th graders on will be held on December 4 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  This date has been changed due to a conflict with the drama performances which will take place on Friday, November 20.  The cheerleaders are sponsoring this Activity Night.  Tickets will be sold in the cafeteria during lunch the week of November 30.  

 

Our PTO will meet next Monday evening, November 9.  The spending committee meets at 6:30 p.m. followed by the General Meeting at 7:00 p.m.  We welcome all of you to join us to learn more about what is going on at KJHS.

 

Some families have been wondering why they did not receive their report cards.  Starting this school year, only the students whose parents marked on the Online Report Card form that they wanted a hard copy will receive one in the mail.   Below are the directions if you have a question about accessing online report cards:

 

The Online Report Card feature on Skyward Family Access is now available for Quarter 1.  To view the progress report, click on Report Cards tab located on the left side of your screen under General Information.  Click on Quarter 1.  When asked to Open or Save choose Open.  The document will open in Microsoft Word.  At that point you may print or save the document.   

 

Please remember that due to an earlier dismissal time this year students are required to go home after school before athletic events.  No backpacks will be allowed at 4:30 p.m. games, unless a student is a member of the team or a performing group.  Please remind students that they are not allowed to stay in the building or hang out nearby.  Students may return to the building to attend games at 4:20 p.m.  Students who do not follow these expectations will not be admitted to the games.  Rides are expected to pick them up after the game within 20 minutes, or the student will not be allowed to attend the next game.

 

Check out the link for the Family Reading Night on Monday, November 23, on this website.  We will feature the nationally known storyteller, Bobby Norfolk.  Bobby will speak at assemblies during the day and will come back in the evening to tell stories for families.  Sandwich suppers will be available from 5:00-7:00 p.m. for a $1 donation.  Numerous literacy activities will be held in the gyms, KJHS groups will be showcased from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria, and Bobby will tell stories from 7:00-7:30 p.m.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lynette Mehall
