Dear (Contact First Name),   

 

PIONEERS ARE #1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

 

MRS. SETTERS SAYS . . . A special message from Principal Martha Setters about SK's recently-released test scores:

  

I am very pleased with our academic progress this past

school year.  SK increased in all areas (Achievement, Gap, Growth, College and Career, Readiness and Graduation Rate).  We were able to exceed our Annual Measurable Objective, as well.  Therefore, SK is now classified as a Proficient School.  You may view the school report card on the KDE website. 

 

Way to go PIONEERS!  I am so proud of you!

 

It won't be long until FALL BREAK.  Mark your calendars:
NO SCHOOL October 11 - October 14.
