Keyport Public Schools is excited to continue supporting student learning throughout the summer with engaging ELA and Mathematics assignments for all students. These mandatory summer assignments are designed to help students strengthen skills, maintain academic progress, and begin the new school year with confidence. Families will also have access to summer office hours hosted by the Curriculum Team, where students can receive additional support and ask questions. In partnership with the Keyport Public Library, students are encouraged to participate in summer reading opportunities and explore recommended book selections. Completed assignments are due by September 18, 2026, and will contribute to students’ academic progress in the upcoming school year.

Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, and many of the tools educators and students already use every day are becoming more integrated with AI-powered supports. Recent updates to Google Workspace for Education are bringing expanded access to Gemini for Education, allowing educators to streamline planning, personalize learning experiences, and create instructional materials more efficiently.

New capabilities across Google tools can support tasks such as generating first drafts of lesson materials, organizing information, creating study supports, and helping users work more efficiently within familiar platforms like Docs, Slides, Classroom, and Drive. Google has also continued expanding NotebookLM and classroom-focused AI tools designed to support responsible and thoughtful use of emerging technology in education.

As AI becomes more present in education, Keyport remains committed to helping students and staff develop the skills needed to use these tools responsibly, ethically, and effectively. Our focus continues to be on using technology to enhance creativity, strengthen learning experiences, and prepare students for a rapidly changing world.

As we move into one of the busiest stretches of the school year, students are balancing assessments, final projects, performances, competitions, practices, and celebrations. While this season is often exciting, it can also feel overwhelming, making it more important than ever to pause and prioritize personal well-being.

Mental wellness is not about removing stress—it is about building healthy habits that help students navigate challenges successfully. Creating routines, getting enough rest, staying active, taking breaks, spending time outdoors, and connecting with others can all help students stay energized and focused during demanding times.

This is also a reminder that students do not have to manage everything alone. Checking in with friends, reaching out to trusted adults, and asking for support when needed are all signs of self-awareness and resilience. Teachers, counselors, coaches, administrators, friends, and families all play an important role in helping students finish the year strong.

At Keyport High School, we remain committed to creating a school community where students feel supported, connected, and empowered to care for both their academic success and their overall well-being.

Every school day matters. Daily attendance gives students the opportunity to engage in learning, participate in discussions, collaborate with classmates, and build the habits that contribute to long-term success. While occasional absences are unavoidable, regular attendance helps students stay connected to instruction and maintain momentum throughout the school year.

As we approach the final weeks of school, we encourage students to remain committed to showing up, arriving on time, and making the most of each day. Consistent attendance supports more than academic growth—it strengthens responsibility, accountability, and routines that prepare students for future success in college, careers, and life beyond high school.

At Keyport High School, we value every opportunity to learn together and appreciate the continued partnership of families in supporting strong attendance habits. Let’s finish the year strong by making each day count.

Your school counselors are here to support you and your child with any academic or social/emotional needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out to them with questions or concerns!
