GENERAL INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

We hope that you have had a fun and relaxing summer and are excited about entering sixth grade.  We are looking forward to meeting each of you.  At KJHS you will have the opportunity to meet new friends, participate in new clubs or organizations, and grow as an individual.

 

Being a part of a team is a very important part of KJHS.  A team spirit is one that accepts individual differences and encourages teammates to do their best.

HELPFUL THINGS TO KNOW:

  • Please call the attendance line if your child is absent or will leave during the day for an appointment.  You will need to come into the main office to sign your child out for an appointment.  (Sending a note is not sufficient.)

  • Homework requests for an absent child must go through the main office and are only accepted when your child has missed 2 or more consecutive days.

  • If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to request missing assignments from each teacher, complete them, and turn them in.

  • Team 6-4 students should bring home their assignment notebook and homework each night.  There is usually some homework each night.

  • Homework is not optional!  It is assigned and part of a student’s grade.  It is expected to be turned in on time.
