Kamiak Weekly Update

This is the end of our seventh week of school – and about two weeks away from the end of first quarter. (Look for quarter one progress report grades to be available on November 26.) This week, we are checking with our students about a very important goal of ours related to students’ sense of belonging. We asked all our students if they have a ‘trusted adult’ (someone they can go to for help) here at school and outside of school. A significant part of students’ sense of belonging (and a protective factor that keeps young people safe) is whether or not they have someone they believe they can trust for help when they need it. Our goal is for every student at Kamiak to be able to identify at least one person here at Kamiak they can trust will help if they need it. If you haven’t already, encourage your child to think about who they would talk to at Kamiak if they felt they needed help.

Located in the East Campus Multipurpose Room (see below for more information)
