Junior Parents/Families Please Read
Dear Junior Parents/Guardians, Junior year has a reputation for being the most difficult of a student’s high school career, and that is partially because of the junior testing requirements. In the state of Michigan, throughout the month of April, juniors take the Michigan Merit Exam (MME), which includes three separate assessments:
On Thursday, February 25th, juniors attended a class meeting which provided them with basic information about these tests, the benefits of doing well, and how Kenowa Hills Public Schools’ historic scores compare to other districts in the state.
The goal of this meeting was to help students understand why they should give their best effort on these three assessments. The effort they put into these assessments reflects their integrity and perseverance, and their scores impact how those outside of our district view our school. Furthermore, their scores can help them stand out in a competitive job market or college application pool. These are messages we will continue to reiterate with all juniors as we approach testing season in April.
More information on each of these tests will be provided to both students and parents/guardians. In the meantime, we ask that you assist us in our efforts to support and empower all of our juniors to try their best on these assessments so they can reap the benefits that come with doing well. Together, we can help our students reach their full potential. Thank you,
Kristy McPherson-Leitz

About Hadestown
This intriguing and beautiful folk musical delivers a deeply resonant message about the importance of hope and faith in one another. Following two intertwining love stories—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and Lady Persephone—Hadestown: Teen Edition invites audiences on a journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anaïs Mitchell’s beguiling musical pits doubt against faith and fear against love. Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, and student talent!

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments, we are excited to announce the implementation of the Raptor Visitor Management System beginning this school year.

Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
