Welcome to KACP KIPPsters and Families!
After Labor Day, all KIPPsters are expected to wear their uniform. We expect all of our students to bring their school supplies and yellow homework folder!
Don't be nervous! It's going to be an amazing week!!! :)
IAs are happening this week! 📚
Near the end of each quarter, we administer Interim Assessments (IAs) to all of our KIPPsters to measure their growth at school. From Monday, September 28th, through Friday, October 2nd, our KIPPsters will take their Q1 tests. Schedule as follows:
Monday: ELA Part I
Tuesday: ELA Part II
Wednesday: Math
Thursday: Science
Friday: Social Studies
Please make sure your KIPPster is present and on time every day. We expect all of them to do great!
Chromebooks are here! 💻
Starting Monday, 8/17, our KIPPsters were assigned a Chromebook for their daily use. Please read the computer expectations provided in the yellow folder during Orientation Day.
If you signed it during Open House, we'll have it in our system.
If you didn't sign the handbook by 8/28, your KIPPster won't be able to use their Chromebook. Make sure to complete the form as soon as possible.
As a friendly reminder, each KIPPster is responsible for their assigned computer. If they damage it or break it, you might have to pay a fee starting at $100 and up to $175. Remind your KIPPster to take care of the technology!
SLA Cafeteria Menu! 🍞🍴🍟
Please check the SLA website to review the daily menu we're serving in the cafeteria! Parents are welcome to bring lunch for their KIPPsters; however, deliveries are not allowed and will be sent back.
Occupational Surveys are still needed!
Under TN State Law, we must request an occupational survey for every KIPPster every year. We're currently at 78%, but we want to be at 100%! If we haven't received your copy, we'll be contacting you soon! If you want to fill one out, you can find a blank form here.
