Learning. Growing. Collaborating & Achieving @KrumHighSchool
September 3, 2018
Greetings KHS Family!
We have had a great week at Krum High School. Our students have performed very well in extracurricular events and the classroom. Congratulations to Volleyball for winning the Buckle Up for Lane Tournament.
Thank you to everyone who traveled to Plano Friday night to support our students. A person from the home school was overheard stating, "This team travels well." That is a direct testament of the never-ending support you give to our football team, cheerleaders, trainers, band, and color guard.
On Friday our students received their progress reports for assignments taken during the first three weeks of the grading period. All of our teachers all have email addresses and there is a staff directory on our website. Email is often the easiest form of communication should you have a specific question regarding your student's performance in a class. Please do not hesitate to contact your student's teacher at any time.
On Monday, September 3, 2018, Krum High School will be closed in observance of Labor Day. In this week's newsletter you will see the latest happenings at KHS, as well as general information for students. Thank you for allowing us to brag on our students and staff.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Krum High School, we wish all families a safe and memorable Labor Day.
Go Bobcats!
