FRIDAY KNIGHT LIVE KELLOGG MIDDLE SCHOOL BI-MONTHLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 16, 2016 Dear Kellogg Families- Thank you to everyone who has sent in flour, canned goods, and gift cards this month in support of our Shoreline Holiday Baskets and Teen Gift Drive. Your generosity fits perfectly with our theme for December, which is Giving Selflessly. Watching our stage fill up with donated goods has been a daily reminder for us all of how we can work together to help out each other and our community. As Knights, we have also focused attention on the giving of our time, energy, thanks, goods, and spirit and how we can all have a positive impact on the life of those around us. I hope that your holiday season is full of this spirit of giving and gratitude. Winter break is a great time for your student and family to rest, relax and recharge. This change of pace allows everyone to reflect on the year so far and come back in January ready to finish off the semester strong. We also have a few important events coming up in January, so please mark your calendars and save these dates: January 10th: 6-7pm – Superintendent Rebecca Miner will be coming to Kellogg for her Informational Bond Presentation. Please come learn about the important upcoming bond for Shoreline Schools and have the opportunity to discuss the details of the bond. January 12th: 6-8pm – Celebration of Cultures Potluck with student performances and special guests, Banda Vagos. This will be a wonderful community event to celebrate our diverse cultures and take the time to connect with each other. More details will be sent out to families after the break. Hope to see you there! We wish you and your family a wonderful Winter break and holiday season. Happy New Year! FROM OUR ATTENDANCE/ATHLETICS SECRETARY: ATTENDANCE - A little reminder about the attendance policy at Kellogg. Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes and assemblies. Students must remain on school grounds and in assigned supervised areas for the duration of the school day unless officially excused by the attendance office. Good school attendance improves academic achievement, classroom and school climate. Under the laws of the State of Washington and policies of the Shoreline School District School Board, all student absences and tardies are illegal except for the following: • Illness of the student • Death in the immediate family • Quarantine • Exceptionally urgent reasons • Religious Observances • Request by a parent for a student absence, providing such absence does not adversely affect the student’s educational progress. It is the responsibility of parents to inform the school when their child has an absence or a tardy. Please call the attendance line or email the attendance secretary by 9AM if your student is absent for the day. TARDY/LATE ARRIVAL Students who arrive up to ten minutes late to school go directly to their first class of the day where they will be marked tardy. After the first ten minutes of school, students are to report to the attendance office and receive a pass to class indicating if the tardy is excused or the late arrival is an unexcused absence. EARLY DISMISSAL If it is necessary for a student to leave school before the end of the day, s/he is required to bring a written request to the attendance office before first period. You may also call or email the attendance line. Please keep in mind, it takes time for a student to gather their belongings and get to the office so we suggest you call ahead so we can have your student in the office at the appropriate time. Students must be MET IN THE OFFICE AND SIGNED out by the parent/guardian or emergency contacts. HELPFUL NUMBERS TO KEEP ON HAND: * MAIN NUMBER 206.393.4783 * ATTENDANCE LINE: 206.393.4781 (Direct Line – Leave a Clear Message) * FAX 206.393.4780 Who can pick up your student? Remember on your emergency information form you are asked to give us your emergency contacts? These contacts are the only people other than guardians that can pick up your student at school for an early dismissal, appointment, emergency, disaster, etc. Also, if your student has a sibling that might need to pick them up, they must also be included on the emergency contact list as well. We also will ask for id at the time of pick-up to verify who you are. We do all of this for the safety of our students and we appreciate your support to ensure that this happens. As always, come by and update any information as needed – we are here to help!
