Weekly Warrior Update
Student Focused-World Class
Word for the Warriors...
Dear Warrior Families,
Each year, KCS (Kingsport City Schools) asks families to participate in the KCS Parent Survey. This survey provides valuable information that is used for planning, setting goals, and making continuous improvements. Your input is extremely valuable. We would greatly appreciate if you would take a few moments to complete this brief survey. You may access the survey at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GHMSPKJ
Please fill out a survey for each school that your child(ren) attends. In addition, please contact your school if you would like a hard copy of the survey. The survey window will be open from May 1-18, 2017. Thank you for your time and attention in this important endeavor.
Proud to be a Warrior,
Holly Flora

*The following message is from last week’s WONDERFUL W.O.W Recipient, Angela McCoy:
I would like to thank Debbie Hash for my nomination of the WOW award. I am honored to have received it! My nomination for the WOW award this week is in my opinion a wonderful lady that gives so much time and energy to the students here at Sevier. Not only does she teach, but she coaches track, cross country and basketball. I never hear anything but kind words about her from not only the students, but parents also. It is my honor to nominate Julie Potts for the WOW award!
