VIKING VOICE November 2013
PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME and MESSAGE- - Terry Bennett As winter draws near and the Holiday Season fast approaches it is even more critical for our students to stay on top of their academic work. Continue to encourage your student to attend to their studies, utilize the more than 70 minutes of tutorial time each week and seek additional support and help from each of their teachers. I am convinced that when the adults involved in our student’s lives make education a priority it sends a strong message that education is valued. As a parent, it isn’t always easy to know exactly what my teenager is doing or how they might doing in school. I have found one of the best ways to discuss school and their studies isn’t to ask about homework, but rather have them share with you what they learned in school that day or what they have been learning in each of their classes. You can regularly monitor your student’s academic progress via the Home Access system. Each student has a Home Access code. If you do not have your student’s codes please give our Counseling Office a call and Mrs. Kinnan will be happy to provide it for you. You can find the Home Access system by going to the school district website www.kcsd.k12.or.us - it is located on the upper left-hand side of the webpage. Feel free to e-mail your student’s teachers, counselor, myself, or one of my administrators. Mazama High School is privileged to have caring, active and involved parents who encourage their children to reach their potential. Our dedicated and professional staff is here to help your student achieve this goal If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call. We invite our parents to go online and take our food service survey….it on the district website
