End of Quarter 1 - Attendance & Student Success

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the quarter, I want to emphasize the importance of monitoring your child’s attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success, and consistent participation helps students stay engaged and on track.

If your student has received a doctor's note for an absence, please ensure it is submitted to the attendance secretary.

Please be aware that if your student exceeds or is close to exceeding 3+ absences in a class, a letter will be emailed home at the end of the quarter (10/25).

Please see the State Attendance Policy below for more information:

The following information applies to attendance in the Kuna School District:

Students are required to be in attendance at least 90% of school session days.
Five absences in a class is the maximum number - anything over exceeds the 90% policy.
Absences verified (EA) or unverified (UA) will count against a student’s 90%.
Medically excused (MD) and a school excused (FT/SA) will not count against a student’s 90%.
Medically excused (MD), absences require a medical note from the doctor or dentist.
When a student has a planned absence from school and they access their work electronically the absences may be coded as Distance Learning (DL). Please see the district handbook for more information.
5+ absences during the current semester in one class will result in a loss of credit. If a student has more than 5 absences in a class, they will receive instructions at the end of the semester on how to appeal for credit.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

We are excited to welcome you to our Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 23rd, from 4 PM to 7 PM. Swan Falls and Kuna High School teachers will be available to meet with you.

Please note that some staff may be absent due to other professional commitments. Those who will not be available will notify you through Parent Square and you can always plan a time to meet with them.

We will be sending out an email next week with a list of teacher locations for your convenience. We encourage you to log into PowerSchool to access your student’s schedule and prioritize which teachers you would like to speak with.

We look forward to seeing you!

Cold Weather

As we enter the colder months of the school year we provide different areas in the school for students to eat lunch and enjoy their lunch time. We always have our commons as the first choice for eating lunch for the entire year. During winter months we will have tables and chairs set up in the lower and upper gym foyers. When it starts to get colder, we will open an upper gym for students to be able to do indoor activities.
