Mr. David Schmitz - Principal Second Quarter 2011 Greetings from Kickapoo! The holiday season is upon us and I hope you and your family are able to find time to make special memories together. Our students have certainly made memories as they participate in a variety of activities around Kickapoo. This fall, students cheered Garrett Estebo on to his 4th place finish in state swimming (100 backstroke), marveled at our Golden Girls for winning 1st place in Hip Hop at a dance championship (UDA Regional in Chicago), and indulged in a little theater as their peers performed The Phantom of the Opera to FOUR consecutive sold out crowds! The fall of 2011 has truly been filled with memories for all! The mission of Kickapoo High School is to facilitate a high level of learning and performance to prepare all students for their future in a global society. Our staff is working hard to support your student's learning so they are truly ready for the future. Do you believe your child is being challenged? With over 80% of our students heading to college after graduation, it is imperative that they push themselves academically! We will begin conversations in the next few months related to scheduling for courses for next school year. Our counselors will be encouraging students to enroll in courses that will best prepare them for the rigors of college. Your partnership in this endeavor is greatly appreciated! There is a strong correlation between good daily attendance at school and academic success. Kickapoo's attendance rate has been phenomenal this year with nearly 96% of our students present each day! Thank you for your efforts in making attendance a priority. Please avoid scheduling appointments that might require an absence. I also ask that you make every effort possible to schedule your family vacations and/or trips on dates when school is not in session. We hope to partner with you to emphasize the importance of school attendance both in your home and in our community! We hope to maintain clear and easy lines of communication with you. Our website, parent email lists, and eSchool Plus home access are great tools for this purpose. You are always welcome to call or email any staff member working with your student. Please feel free to contact me if I can assist you or your student in any way. Sincerely, David Schmitz |
