KHS IB Diploma Program Newsletter

Marking period 2 interims were on Friday December 10 on Schoology. A copy was emailed to each parent email address on file so that you know where your student is academically. The IB Program is a fully academic program so it is important to stay on top of your classes as a member of the program. Students will be called in for check-in meetings in the coming days and parents will receive phone calls from Ms. Forman regarding progress. Every student in grades 9 and 10 will receive a progress report that requires a parent signature. Please return the signed form to Ms. Forman.

This month we have several students to shout out! 2 Students were recognized for their efforts in AP Environmental Science and one Senior for her hard work in classes. See below to see their interests and plans.

Ms. Coleman says "Jenna is kind to everyone, creates a welcoming environment, and always demonstrates how caring she is by helping with her friends, her classmates, and even her math teacher when needed :)"

Mr. Lalia says that Savannah and Joshua are working hard in AP Environmental Science.

CAS is a required component of the IB diploma for students in grades 11 and 12. Savannah just finished her grade 11 project by working on an art and shapes lesson for the Pre-K students in Ms. Reed's class. Great work Savannah!

Our Seniors have begun to receive college acceptances. So far students have been accepted to Towson University, Stevenson University, Elizabethtown College, The University of Pittsburgh, Goucher College, Salisbury University, Florida Memorial University & Notre Dame University.

Students have also earned a combined total of $452000 in scholarships from schools and another $3000 from outside sources so far!

So far this year we have donated 5 boxes of toiletries to the LMS Compassion Place, sold socks to raise money for prosthetic limbs, collected mittens & winter coats for children at the LMS Compassion Place, and collected school supplies for Empower4life. Service is a huge component to the IB and is something we encourage all students to participate in. Thank you to all of the students and families who have helped us with our initiatives so far this year and I look forward to what next year brings!

Students visited Stevenson University which accepts the IB diploma as one year of credits (32) and students receive sophomore status!

Students came together to work on some CAS and IB related activities. Stations included college research to see schools that accept the IB Diploma, learner profile, blackout poems, and zendoodles.

Students will be receiving communication regarding their course selections for next year. If you have questions please email Lforman@bcps.org or stop by 117 to chat so that you can see what your options are and how to best get on track to earn the IB Diploma. Below is an example of a possible sequence for a 4 year plan.
