NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Interact Club Partners with KCPD
Mrs. Carter, Interact Club Sponsor and Family & Consumer Science Teacher, met with KCPD to share Interact Club's mission and idea behind the Sharing is Caring drive. We were able to pass on 63 we stocked bags for Community Interaction Officers to distribute within the Park Hill zone. This opportunity provides positive interaction and makes our hearts full to help those in need.

LEAD A+ Tutoring Available
10th, 11th and 12th grade LEAD A+ students can now sign up to tutor their peers, either face to face or virtually, and get A+ hours for their time and effort! If your student would like to tutor, they need to fill out the A+ Tutors Application which can be found under the Resources tab in their Schoology LEAD A+ group.
If you feel that your child could benefit from meeting with a tutor, they can sign up for one in Summit. Please have your student follow these directions to access the request form:
- Open Summit and in the left blue field, select the 20-21 LEAD Homeroom course
