IP Reminders!
August
IP Intro - EdPuzzle Required
Happy New School Year! We are sending this email to all students signed up for Independent Period (IP). Here is how IP works. All sophomores and students new to IP should go to the library for their IP period during the first week of school.
All students enrolled in IP have ONE required assignment due during the first week of semester. This is an 8-minute Edpuzzle video. The assignment is available in the IP Schoology Course. We encourage you to do this before August 25 so that you have all necessary information, especially attendance procedures. Please stop by the library circulation desk during your IP if you have any questions.
Looking forward to working with you this semester!

Tech Help!
How do I start a LiveChat with a KHS technology specialist? Where is the one place my child goes for links for ALL their school resources? Did you know that if your child needs support outside of school hours, they get complimentary support over the phone with Apple Education? Please visit Kirkwood High School Technology to view solutions to student FAQs!
Thank you for making KHS such a great place!
