Dear Kuna Families,
Last week, we had the joy of celebrating our incredible staff and teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. Please join me in congratulating several outstanding members of our school community who were recognized for their exceptional contributions:
  • Michelle Graves, Health Professions Teacher
  • Dr. Allison Touchstone, Science Teacher
  • Savannah Dunnigan KHS Attendance Secretary
  • Corrin Keeler, SFHS Resource Para
We also honored our Friends of EducationMike Miller and Randy & Jo Hopkins — whose ongoing support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our Kuna students. We are deeply grateful for their dedication to our schools.
As we near the end of the school year, our seniors are wrapping up their final days on campus. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2025 at Graduation on May 22nd at 2:30 PM at the Ford Idaho Center. This is a milestone moment for our students and their families, and we can't wait to share it with all of you.
Please note: There will be an early release on May 22nd, and the adjusted bell schedule is included in this newsletter.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff!

Awareness of Trending Device Abuse

In the last several days, we have noticed a significant increase in the number of student-assigned devices being submitted for repair after experiencing physical damage. At the same time, we’ve become aware of a trending challenge on TikTok called the "Chromebook Challenge." This challenge encourages students to purposely short out their devices to cause them to catch fire by jamming lead or metal into the charging port, USB port, or by stabbing the battery.
We are asking you to speak with your students about this serious safety hazard and the potential for damage to school property. Not only does this challenge present a risk of injury or fire, but families will also be held responsible for the cost of any damages to their assigned devices. While these types of challenges might seem like harmless pranks or jokes to students, the consequences can be very real. In addition to injury risks, there’s also the potential for loss of access to schoolwork, damage to school property, and disciplinary action.
Kuna High School continuously monitors for potential risks that could impact the safety of our students and staff. The well-being of everyone on our campus is our highest priority, and we appreciate your continued partnership in keeping our school safe and focused on learning.

Important Notice Regarding Vandalism at KHS

 KHS Students and Parents,
We have seen an uptick in incidents of vandalism on campus. Please be reminded that vandalism is a serious offense and will not be tolerated. Individuals responsible will face school disciplinary actions, be responsible for damages, and will be prosecuted.
If you have any information related to these incidents, we encourage you to report it. In some cases, a reward may be offered for helpful information.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and respectful school environment.

Important Information:

Intervention

KHS/SFHS Intervention

Intervention works!
Does your student need academic support or are they falling behind in their work? Please encourage them to attend intervention sessions. These sessions are available daily at KHS and SFHS after 2nd period. It's a great opportunity for your student to work with teachers, catch up, and deepen their understanding of the material.

Help to manage your ParentSquare Account

Are you overwhelmed with the number of emails, texts and app notifications you are getting from ParentSquare? Set your notifications to Digest and you will receive one email and/or one text and/or one app notification providing access to all ParentSquare information at the end of the day. Note: If you receive notifications by email, you'll receive a daily digest email from your district and schools separately if there are posts that day.

SFHS Transfer & Lunch Bell

Pro Tip: if your student drives to the Swan Falls campus for afternoon classes, set an alarm on their phone to ensure they arrive on time for Third Period, which starts at 11:26 AM. This will help minimize tardiness and disruptions in class. For detailed bell schedules, check the Important Links section below. Thank you for your cooperation!
 

Attendance PRO TIPS

  • Please call to verify your student's absence within 48 hours.
  • Please give us at least 30 minutes to get your student out of class - the earlier you call the message line the better.
  • When you call to get your student out of class they will get "blue slip" with the time to leave on it. You do not have to come into the school to pick them up they can meet you out front of the school.
