Fire, safety, and lockdown drills are necessary for the safety of students, faculty and staff. State law requires fifteen drills per year. These drills are crucial so staff and students know where to go and how to respond if there was ever an actual threatening situation. All safety procedures are reviewed annually with staff. The school will conduct 15 drills per year following the RIDE requirements.
* In an event of a fire or potential safety concern families will be notified as soon as possible with an update and instructions if needed. Please avoid contacting and arriving at the school. Our focus first and foremost, is the safety of all the students and staff in the building. Visitors will NOT be allowed in the building during an emergency situation. We have safety procedures and protocols in place to ensure our KHA students and staff are safe. We thank you in advance with your patience and cooperation regarding this matter. Please discuss with your child the importance of these drills at school.
KHA will be promoting RIDE’s Campaign Its #cool2 beinschool /attendance matters. Students who are absent are more likely to fall behind in their coursework.
Attendance is reviewed on an ongoing basis with our School Nurse, Social Worker, and Administration. Communication will be sent home bi-weekly to KHA families if their child is chronically absent according to our attendance tool from RIDE. Other communication such as possible phone calls, letters, and meetings may follow as well.
Please keep in mind that school begins at 8:40 am. Students arriving after 8:40 am will be marked tardy. Tardy letters are also sent home monthly.
Summer letters will be sent home at the end of the year with your child’s report card if your child has 18 or over tardies, early dismissals, and/or absences.
Please keep in mind that vacations are not considered excused absences. Please highly consider vacations according to the school calendar.
