KCS Re-Entry 2020 Plan
Greetings Warriors!
KCS has posted its plan for re-entry for the upcoming school year!
https://kcs.kana.k12.wv.us/re-
You, as parents and guardians, are now able to go to the KCS website to make your choice! There are a lot of details but the simple version is:
- Face to face learning in the building.
- eLearning with Riverside teachers and utilizing Schoology.
- KCS Virtual school.
Take your time and read through the options. Choose what is best for your family!
Riverside staff has been working to ensure the safety of your children with new procedures of changing classes, entering and exiting the building, and going to get breakfast and lunch.
The NUMBER 1 priority is the health and safety of our students, staff, and community
Remember that we are all going through this together! As with everything that has happened since March, this may change at any time!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Because of the change involved with COVID-19, the band and chorus will not perform. We are trying to make sure our other traditions are intact to the best of our ability!
Usually, I say, “Dress your best”. However, we are going to be outdoors and on astroturf. This could make for a very hot evening. This is a FORMAL event that you have worked toward for 13 years! Take it seriously. LOOK your BEST and be on your BEST behavior!
NO jeans!
Wear dress clothes under your cap and gown.
NO markings on your cap or gown
If you wear high heels, they should not be so high that you will have trouble walking in them! The turf may make you unsteady!
You must arrive at 5:00 PM for practice.
Parents will be allowed to enter at 6:00 PM
How should I behave?
As mentioned above, these are formal events that are all about you. We will recognize and honor all of your successes and accomplishments over the past four years. This is also the time to celebrate one another. You honor each other by being respectful of each other, the speakers, and the presenters at all events. Clap when appropriate, cheer when appropriate, and be quiet when appropriate. Always be RESPECTFUL!
BE ON TIME! BE ON TIME! BE ON TIME!
What should I bring?
Graduation-Bring your cap and gown! Bring your Tassel! No purses, bags, noisemakers, or silly string!
What makes me eligible to participate in the Graduation Commencement Ceremony?
You must have completed ALL 24 credits required to graduate prior to the ceremony! NO EXCEPTIONS!
You must have taken care of all financial obligations to the school and county.
Turned in (or paid for) your iPad, charging cord, and brick.
Always Be A Student
Keep on learning, Warriors,
Though your high school years are done;
Your whole life’s an education
That has only just begun.
Your diploma is the first big step,
For knowledge is the special key
To winning what you want in life
And being who you want to be.
If you'll always be a student,
You’ll find the secrets to success
And travel on the gold road
To peace and happiness

Senior Planning May 5, 2020
As we begin the month of May, we wind down to the last few activities of your senior year. First, make sure that your assignments are completed by May 15th. Check your grades on Schoology. You will not receive a grade lower than the 3rd 9 weeks (QT3) on Schoology. The 4th 9 weeks assignments are there for you to continue learning and help your grade if you need it. If you have not answered your counselor's messages, now is the time! If you are in need of credit recovery, contact your counselor for Summer School.
Lastly, we continue to work toward a graduation ceremony on June 25th. We will be under the guidance of the health officials but our hope is to be together one more time!

This is especially important if you have been in a public place. Go to https://www.cdc.gov/ for additional recommendations on how to protect yourself.4. Limit travel plans to essential travel only.5. Stay in touch with your child’s schoola. Review assignments from the school and help your child establish a reasonable pace for completing the workb. Let the school know if there are any challenges6.
