KAMIAK WEEKLY UPDATE

May 23, 2025

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Whether you have a graduating senior or a freshman finishing the last year of high school, we are at precisely the right point to check student grades. Just about all our students know how to show you their most updated grades in classes. (Remember that an exclamation point next to an assignment in Qmlativ means that assignment is marked ‘missing.’)
We want our students to enter June confident that they know how well they are doing in classes. Showing you their grades helps our students gain that confidence and focus. Thank you for taking a few moments to look at grades together.

Please take a few minutes to provide the following information:
  • Your plans after high school (e.g. apprenticeship, community or technical college, university, military – including branch – gap year, or full-time employment)
  • Any awards or honors you’ve earned this year at Kamiak or through college programs
  • Scholarships you’ve received and plan to use
  • Whether you are earning your associate’s degree by graduation

🎓 Senior Recognition Night 🎓
If you report receiving awards, scholarships, military enlistment, or an associate degree, you and your family will be invited to attend Kamiak’s Senior Recognition Night on Wednesday, June 4th at 6:30 PM.
This is a special evening to celebrate your accomplishments—we hope to recognize as many of you as possible!

This transcript will be sent to one of the following:

This step is required to complete senior checkout and must be completed by June 11th.
Students can create or access their Parchment account at www.parchment.com.
Attached, you’ll find step-by-step instructions to help with the process. If your student needs assistance, they are welcome to stop by the counseling office.

COUNSELING CORNER

Graduation

Only a few more weeks until graduation!! It is extremely important for seniors to focus, be proactive in problem-solving, and work with their team if they need support. It is not uncommon for seniors to lose motivation this time of year, knowing graduation is just around the corner. If your student cannot complete all requirements, they may not be eligible to graduate and/or participate in the ceremony.
 
Please encourage your student to confirm they are on-track for graduation and have them reach out to their teachers or counselor to make a plan, if needed. If your student is currently not passing classes, attending credit recovery, working on independent study or online classes, or needs to submit additional paperwork to be on-track, they should be keeping in contact with their teachers and counselor consistently over the coming weeks. We are here to help and hope to support every student in finishing the year strong!! 

11th Grade Graduation Status

For current 11th grade students, our Kamiak counselors will be mailing graduation status letters home at the end of May. This letter will indicate if your students is on track to graduate, has a plan in place, or is missing required credits and will need additional support or credit recovery to be on track. Please review this letter with your student and reach out to your student’s counselor if you have any questions. 

Running Start Fall Quarter Registration

Fall quarter registration has begun! If your student is planning to attend fall quarter Running Start, please read through the information below that pertains to your individual student. 

For currently enrolled Running Start students (11th grade) to register for classes, they will need to complete the quarterly verification form and meet with their Kamiak school counselor to have it signed. Students should review class options in the college course guide before contacting their counselor. The earlier this step can be completed, the better chance they have of getting the classes they want/need. A copy of the verification form is available on the Kamiak Running Start page (under Counseling) and hard copies are available in the Counseling Office.

Students enrolling for the first time should be in the process of completing the Running Start registration steps on the college website. All students need to have viewed our Kamiak Running Start Webinar prior to registration. The webinar link is available on the Career and College Readiness page of the Kamiak website (under Counseling). We HIGHLY recommend parents watch this webinar with their students. As students navigate steps, they can contact their school counselor for questions.

Is your student interested in taking classes for summer quarter? Your student may be eligible for summer college classes. This quarter is open to incoming new students, current students, and even graduating seniors who qualify. Summer quarter is shorter (less than 8 weeks long) and faster paced than a typical quarter, which often makes it more challenging. Additionally, the number of credits your student is eligible to take will be based on the number of credits they completed during the school year. If your student is interested in summer quarter, they should contact their counselor when they complete fall quarter registration.
