A reminder to students who ride
school buses in the morning – published morning bus stop times are estimates.
KCS recommends arriving at your bus stop 10-12 minutes before the listed time.
The stops are not laid out for a convenient place to wait if they arrive before
the printed time and the schedules were prepared with a small cushion for
traffic patterns. They will be early
sometimes but cannot wait if you are not there.
If you’re there at the published time you are late – good job skill to
develop, always plan to be there 10-12 minutes before you are scheduled!
·
Students interested in the STEM bowling
team should be at Fountain Lanes at 3315 Broadway this Thursday, August 31
at 5:00 sharp. Be prepared to bowl 1 game. Bring your own ball and
shoes if you have them. You will have to pay $2 for bowling shoes.
·
Students interested in some real
banking experience? Finance, accounting,
etc. are all STEM fields, too! Get some
practical experience for your high school resume working for a branch of the
Y-12 Credit Union right here in our school!
Stop by the office to pick up more information and an application from
Mrs. Schlutz. She can answer questions
for you, too!

year are officially on sale! Pick up an order form from the office any time or
order yours from www.jostensyearbooks.com.
