KHA Parents

Parents have professional, working relationships with the teachers and the administrator of the school.  Parent representatives actively participate on the KHA Board of Trustees as well as other school committees, such as the School Improvement Team (SIT), Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), and the Local Advisory Committee (LAC) for families of special needs students.  KHA is continually working to include families in volunteer opportunities.

 

KHA relies on families for ideas, feedback, volunteer opportunities, and community support. Please feel free to contact us if there is information you would like to see posted on this page.

ClassDojo

KHA is on ClassDojo!

ClassDojo is a free communication app for the classroom that connects teachers, parents, students to share photos, videos, and messages throughout the school day. Look for an invitation from your child’s teacher!

Understanding Report Cards & Progress Reports

Student progress is reported each quarter via a Progress Report (Quarters 1 and 3) or a Report Card (Quarters 2 and 4). The Report Card is standards-based meaning that the topics in the Report Card are directly based on the Common Core Standards and the numerical value reflects where they are in progress towards standard achievement.

What the Numerical Values Mean: 

A grade of 1 means that the child is not making adequate progress towards the end of the year standard.

A grade of 2 means that the child is making progress towards the end of the year standard. 

A grade of 3 means that the child is meeting the end of the year expectations for the standard.

A grade of 4 means that the child is above end of grade level expectations for the standard.
