Dear L&N STEM Academy Parent or Guardian,
It is hard to believe that the
school year is about to end! Our final
exam period will cover Thursday– Wednesday, May 14th – 20th . To
mitigate stress on students, each day they will take only two exams. According
to district policy, the assessments will be weighted to count 25% of a
student’s final course grade in each class.
Please help us stress the importance to your student of preparing well
for these comprehensive tests and then getting sleep, eating breakfast, and
being here on time to take the exams.
Even classes who have already had a state End of Course or AP exam will
have a meaningful learning activity during these scheduled times.

Here’s what you need to note
about scheduling. Students will have
regular hours, 9:30 – 4:30 on Thursday, May 14. On
Friday, May 15 we will meet with all 4 classes, but they will be abbreviated
and all students will be dismissed at 2:00 due to the fact that Friday is our
last early release day for the year. Students who need to wait for the buses,
which will run at 4:30, will be supervised in the Commons area by KCS staff. May 18 – 20 will be regular school days,
dismissing with buses running at 4:30.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, May 19 & 20, with your permission and
owing no make-up work, students may dismiss at 12:30. But buses will not run until 4:30. The cafeteria will provide full service
breakfast and lunch through Monday, May 18.
Breakfast and limited lunch will be available on Tue and Wed, 19 &
20. The cafeteria will not be open at
all on Thursday, May 21, which is a scheduled half-day makeup day.
In alignment to district
practice, students may use the afternoon hours on Tuesday or Wednesday to
receive extra tutoring or complete make up work on campus. We have requested Habit Therapy dogs to come
the afternoon of May 18 for students to spend time with them distressing and
reducing test anxiety. This is an option
for those who wish to take advantage only.
To afford your child the opportunity to leave early on these two days,
you must complete the permission slips at the bottom of this letter and have your
child return them to any teacher by Friday,
May 15, 2015. If students choose
to leave they must provide their own transportation and they must leave campus
immediately. Please make
advanced arrangements for transportation.
Email, phone and fax dismissal
requests will not be permitted. Your child is not required to attend
school May 21, unless he/she misses an exam and must make it up.
Please discuss the information listed below with your
child:
- Students will be reported for “cutting class” if they do not turn in permission slips and do not report to afternoon study hall, which will meet in the Commons Area. From there a student may make arrangements to go to a teacher’s room for make up work. Discipline will be handled at the first of next school year.
- Students with early dismissals must leave campus immediately following the 12:30 dismissal. Students must be with a teacher if still on campus.
- Students should remain in class until the end of the class period even if exams are completed!
- Students may not leave campus and come back to ride the school bus at 4:30 on the 19th or 20th .
- Students may not go to other schools to visit during school hours! They will be cited for trespassing by school security and could possibly be arrested!
We would like to thank all of
you for your support and your active interest in your child’s education. We have had a great year and look forward to lots
more achievements and milestones to come!
Remind your students that summer assignments will be posted on our
website by May 21. I hope that each one
of you has a safe and restful summer and comes back to us in August ready to
begin again. Don’t forget to check our website, Facebook, or Twitter regularly
over the summer for updates, announcements, and summer assignments. Our office will be open from 9:00 – 3:00,
Monday – Friday, all summer long. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 329-8440.
The L&N Administrative Team
