FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY
SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE.
FROM THE JR./SR. HIGH OFFICE
DILIGENCE IS KEY……………………..
As we slowly drift out of this snowy bitter winter, it is time to start thinking about next year. Yes, while we
slowly drift, time is flying and it is time for all 2015-2016 registered High School students to pick courses
for next year! All courses are awarded on a first come, first serve basis.
High School Students should be keeping track of their academic progress and have an idea of what
courses they need to take to end their high school careers successfully. The Course Selection Guide,
which is posted on the website on the High School tab, very carefully lays out what a student must take
to graduate successfully in 4 years from TKCS. There is also a link to this Guide on the registration tab
of NetClassroom.
The students in Mrs. Francis' PreCalculus class recently
participated in the 4th annual Unit Circle Contest. Prior to
the contest, all students memorized the unit circle and
practiced finding special angles of the 6 trig. functions.
…and the winner is…
Eric
Galloway
For the contest, students were given a time limit to solve a
trig. function by memory. Paper and pencil were not
allowed. Students who gave a correct answer moved on
to the next round, which increased in level of difficulty.
The winner of the contest received a delicious chocolate
chip cookie cake baked and decorated by Mrs. Eller.
The competition was great, as many students "survived"
several rounds. The 2015 winner of the Unit Circle
Contest was Eric Galloway.
Right now, it is time to pick the courses for next year. This should be done in NetClassroom on the
registration tab. Students must pick courses by April 15. It is important for students to do this so their
choices are considered when the master schedule is designed. If a student does not pick their courses,
Mrs. Silverman will pick them. Oh dear, it would be prudent for each student to exercise due diligence so
they are not taking electives they are not interested in taking!!
(NetClassroom Note: Remember, the student must pick the classes on their own NetClassroom tab and
than you as a parent must go into your own NetClassroom and approve their choices.)
Also, if your student is interested in taking an AP Class he/she MUST fill out and submit applications for
each AP Course. These applications are available in the High School Office, Knightly Knews, and in the
documents Library on the website. AP English Literature, AP English Language, AP US History, AP
Biology and AP Calculus all need applications filled out and returned to the Academic Office no
later than APRIL 1. THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS!!!
Therefore, the key word for high school students is DILIGENCE. Pick your course, get your AP
applications turned in on time!
