KHS Board
Please remember to visit the board section of the
Kestrel Heights website. We are utilizing the blog
section for summaries of topics we feel need a
little more information than official minutes will
allow or deem appropriate.
Thank you!

Reminder for Parents
Please make sure that you schedule in-class
arrivals. For example, if you would like to have a
quick chat with your child’s teacher make an
appointment and this can happen after school
hours. If your child forgets their lunch, please
leave it at the front office. It will be delivered by
lunch time. Please make all appointments for inclass visits or volunteering with your child’s
teacher at least 24 hour in advance and wait for a
confirmation.
Letters of Intent:
The 2015-16 Letters of Intent will be released to the
families of current students on February 2, 2015. The
forms will also be available on our website. Please
indicate whether or not your child intends on
returning to KHS for the 2015-16 school year and
update your contact information. This will help us
prepare the schedules for next year for those
students who are returning and prepare the
cumulative file for transfer for those who are not
returning. The packets are due to the front office no
later than Friday, February 20th. Thank you for your
assistance as we begin to plan another exciting year
at Kestrel Heights School.
2015-16 Student Lottery
We are now accepting new student applications for
the 2015- We 16 lottery. All applications, including
siblings of current Kestrel students, are due by
Thursday, February 26th. Applications are available
on our website or in our front offices.
Quarterly Exams
Quarterly exams for all middle school students will
be held the week of January 15. The purpose of

Afterschool Care/Pick-Up
We have several students from the elementary
and middle school going onto High School campus
at the end of the day. They are under the
impression that they can "hang out" there while
their older sibling is playing basketball, cheering,
or in some other after school activity. Students
must be under the direct supervision of their
parent at all times when at the HS.
Parents, unless students are directly involved in
an after school activity, they cannot be in the High
School building after 3:30pm. Middle school and
elementary students (that are waiting on middle
school siblings) are also not to be on the Middle
School grounds after 3:30pm unless involved in a
supervised activity.
Middle Students must be picked up by 3:30 unless
they are involved in a supervised afterschool
activity or are in YMCA afterschool care. Students
not involved in an after school activity or the
YMCA will not be permitted in the building after
3:30.
Drop off
Please do not drop off students at the top of the
hill to walk down. You must go through carpool
line. This is a huge safety concern for all of our
parent drivers and students walking across traffic
patterns. If you arrive right at 8:00 am, your child
will be late and you will need to park and sign in
your child. Expectation is for all students to be
seated and ready to learn at 8:00am. Remember,
carline starts at 7:30am for middle school.
Cold Temperatures
With the cold temperatures, please make sure
your children are dressed appropriately to play
outside. P. E. and recess will be outside if weather
permits.
