STUDENT
DRIVERS! Due to an event at lunch at the
Foundry today you will NOT be able to
park in the bottom of the KMA lot until after 1:00. Please be a good neighbor and don’t give the
guards on duty a hard time when they don’t let you in.

Class of 2018 Focused Plan of Study (FPS) were sent home with Sophomores only,
yesterday, 1/25. Focused Plans of Study are designed to help
students review their current progress toward graduation and refocus them if
they've traveled off course. The FPS is a rough draft of the
four-year plan and is subject to change each year based on actual schedule and
credits earned. FPS should be returned to the Guidance Office with parent
signatures by this Friday, Jan. 29th.
