Launch Meeting on MONDAY

Greetings Parents and Students,

Thank you again for your patience while I sort out some significant details for the 2023 marching season.  Due to issues related entirely to technology, we cannot have our 2023 Launch Meeting tomorrow night (Thursday, April 13th).  Instead, we will be meeting in the KHS auditorium on Monday, April 17th from 7pm to 8pm.  I tried to push later into week, unfortunately there are just too many conflicts on the KCSD calendar.

This meeting is for for both students and parents.  Please attend the meeting if you are available.  If you are not available you must contact me on Discord or via email (awhisler@...).

Topics:
7:00-7:40 KHS Auditorium with Mr. Whisler

• Staff Introduction (the staff may not be there, I will still introduce their roles)
• New Student Handbook
  • 2023 Schedule
  • Financial Responsibilities

This season is going to be a lot of work and a ton of fun!  The meeting on Monday will kick everything off.  If you are a student and you miss the meeting, I would like to meet with you personally to discuss the Student Handbook to make sure the expectations for the 2023 marching season are crystal clear.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all next Monday!
