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!
