KAMIAK WEEKLY UPDATE

April 24, 2026

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

This week, our students celebrated spring festivities with the last school spirit assembly of the year. There were competitions involving the whole crowd. There were silly games and fun activities for people who volunteered to come to the floor and participate.

The assembly was loud and full of youthful energy. Like all our assemblies, these moments play important roles in promoting school culture.

A community is built up on what unifies its members. An assembly is a moment in time that we all share – the experience connects us. We were there together to watch students playing a version of Rocket League with inflatable suits and a soccer ball. Our loud and proud Pep Band played music for us. We were there together to see our baseball team and our musical performers compete with one another.

A whole year of athletics, activities, and clubs had a video feature we all got to see for the first time. We were all in the same place when each grade got to sing along with “Justin Bieber” for points in a competition. And, we were all in the same place when the junior class won the World Cup.

I am grateful to our students and staff who draw us together for assemblies and experiences like these. They build our community by giving us stories we share. Thank you for so much creativity and hard work!

You’re Invited: Family Engagement Center Community Celebration

Each week, 375 bags of food are distributed to elementary and middle school students in our district, thanks to our Family Engagement Liaisons (FELs). At the high school level, students can visit pantry spaces designed to feel like a store, where they can choose free food and essential items with dignity and care. This important work is made possible through generous community donations and the dedication of our FELs, who support families in meaningful, everyday ways.

We invite you to see this work in action at our Family Engagement Center (FEC) Community Celebration and Open House on Wednesday, April 29 from 5–7 p.m.

Come explore the FEC, meet community partners, and learn about the many resources available to support students and families. This is a great opportunity to connect, ask questions, and discover how the FEC serves our families.

Guests will enjoy light refreshments and can enter to win door prizes, including a baby supplies basket, family game night basket, and emergency kit. Youth attendees can receive free books and bus passes. Families are also welcome to make an appointment during the event to “shop” with community partners at the FEC for free clothing and food in a welcoming, supportive environment.

We hope you will join us for this special evening of connection, celebration, and community!

Kamiak Spring Musical -  Damn Yankees
Book by Douglass Wallop & George Abbott​
Music and Lyrics by Jerry Ross & Richard Adler
 
Directed by Bryan Sullivan
Music Directed by Nancy Duck-Jefferson
Choreographed by Eva Stone
Orchestra Directed by Brian Steves
 
Based on the novel, The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant by Douglass Wallop, Damn Yankees the Broadway mega-hit and winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, hits it out of the park! The winning score by Adler and Ross and a devilish book by George Abbot have made this sporty musical comedy a true American classic.
 
Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd, trades his soul to the Devil, also known as Mr. Applegate, for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation, Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life that he's left behind. Joe ultimately outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series.
 
Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a homerun hit, featuring all-American subject matter and an irreverent sense of humor. The perfect choice for a high school's spring musical or community theatre production, Damn Yankees is a wicked, romantic comedy, sure to please.

COUNSELING CORNER

Graduation

We are officially less than two months away from graduation! This is an exciting time, but it is also extremely important for students 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. 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! If your student cannot complete all requirements, they may not be eligible to graduate and/or participate in the ceremony. We hope to support every student in finishing the year strong!!

Running Start Fall Quarter Registration

Fall quarter registration has begun, and college fall course guides are now available! If your student is planning to attend fall quarter at Running Start, please read through the information below that pertains to your individual student.
 
For currently enrolled Running Start students (11th graders) 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 Running Start 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 summer quarter at Running Start? 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.
