KHS/SFHS Weekly Update

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I am excited to share a new initiative developed in collaboration with our CAST leadership team to encourage strong attendance, decrease tardies, and increase academic success.  After working through a process with student leaders and administration, we identified key areas that impact student learning—attendance, tardiness, and academic performance. Together, we worked to design an incentive program that acknowledges students who consistently demonstrate responsibility in these areas and rewards them by giving a school excused early release for Sweethearts dance activities.  

I am proud of them for coming up with this idea and guiding them through a series of planning meetings. They played a crucial role in shaping this initiative by offering student perspectives and suggesting realistic goals.  As a result, we developed a system that balances high expectations with a positive reinforcement model.

Students who meet the following criteria starting today will qualify for an excused 2 hour  early release on February 21:

Students will be able to pick up the form on Friday January 30  that outlines the process. It will require a parent's signature. On Feb 19th and 20th, students will take the form and have all their teachers sign it to confirm they are passing their classes. 

This idea is part of my ongoing efforts to foster a culture of accountability, engagement, and collaboration with student leaders.  I am proud of our student leaders for their role in this process and their dedication to help high school to be more engaging. .

Thank you for your support to students!
