The Back to School Edition of the Kingsley Family Connection was sent to KJHS families at the beginning of August. 

We are currently looking for two LBS1s and a guidance counselor for the 23-24 school year.  To make sure our students get the support they need in the meantime, Tim Penhollow will be serving as a guidance counselor on Thursdays and Fridays. We are also seeking two long term subs to serve as co-teachers for the first semester. If you know of anyone who may be interested, please let Elisa know. 

We are in need of an additional CARES case manager. If you are interested in this, please let Elisa know. 

Here are the current team rosters. The schedules have now been made public so we are limiting changes. Here is what you can do to help us out... 

1. Please check your course rosters against your team list and let us know if there are any students in your classes that are not on your team's roster. We are noticing that IC does not always honor team assignments, especially in advisory and tutorial. 

2. If you see a scheduling error, please let Elisa know. Guidance is currently understaffed and Sylvester has sports going on so Elisa is the "go to" for schedule changes. 

3. If a parent talks to you about a scheduling error, please have them complete the Schedule Change Request form. Families were sent this information on Thursday prior to schedules being released. 

New to KJHS this year...

The KJHS Staff Back to School Social will be on Friday, August 11th at BloNo Pizza Company from 5 - 7 pm and families are welcome. Join us as we reunite before the start of the school year! 

KJHS will be hosting "Open Doors at Kingsley" on August 8th - 10th from 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm. This informal event is an opportunity for KJHS students and families to walk through students' schedules, decorate lockers, etc. 

The KJHS Main Office summer hours are 8:30 am to 3:30 pm from now until August 14th. 

If a class with a student who has any health condition listed above is planning a Field Trip, they MUST have a trained person attend the field trip. It is the administrator’s responsibility to ensure this is in place before approving the field trip. Nurses will not be able to attend field trips.  If a trained person is not able to go and serve as a delegated care aide, the field trip will not be able to continue. Parents can not legally waive this school responsibility. Any willing staff member (teacher, TA, EOP) is also encouraged to be trained as a delegated care aide and can do so at any point during the year by completing the online course and session with your nurse.

KJ administration is recommending that one member of every core team get trained as there is no guarantee that administrator will be available to go on trips. 

PTO is hosting a Gobena Coffee Fundraiser. Please check out the flier for more information.
