Morning Attendance Procedure Change

 

Beginning on Monday, April 28th, Kearney High School will implement a new morning attendance check-in procedure from 8:00 to 8:20 AM. Students will now scan their physical or digital student ID (via the Synergy StudentVUE App) to streamline the process and reduce wait times for tardy passes to first block classes. We ask that all students bring one or both forms of ID each day. For assistance with accessing the StudentVUE app, please visit the counseling office front desk. We appreciate the support of parents and guardians in helping students be prepared for this updated process.  

 

Nebraska Supreme Court at KHS
A front-row seat to justice in action!

On Tuesday, Kearney High students had the incredible opportunity to witness the Nebraska Supreme Court argue two real cases right in their own auditorium. They also gained insight from local attorney Tom Tye and Judge John Rademacher.

To wrap up the session, nearly 30 students stood hoping to ask questions to the justices, showing that the future of civic leadership is bright!

Please be advised that the events offered by organizations outside KPS may have sessions, speakers, or content that some parents feel is unsuitable for their children.  KPS recommends that parents review the opportunity closely before students consider attending these events
 
 
 
ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE CALLS
 
As you know, we have a new Student Information system called Synergy.  With this new system we are now ready to roll out attendance and tardy information to you as parents through the new communication system Finalsite.  You may receive calls, emails, and text messages based on the attendance of your student.  If you have already called or emailed the attendance office to excuse your student but still receive a call or text, you do not need to call or email again.  We will get the change in Synergy/Finalsite as soon as possible.  Attendance is vital to academic and social success.  Thank you for partnering with us in ensuring students are in class and on time.
