Dear Parents

On August 27 at 2:00pm there will be a School of Excellence student assembly.
The assembly will cause a 10 minute delay in afternoon carpool. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes later than your usual time. Cars will be allowed on campus at 2:40 instead of 2:30 on the 27th.
The number of KCSMA students and staff attending the assembly will bring us to fire code maximum capacity. Unfortunately parents cannot attend, but the assembly will be videotaped and shared with parents.

The KCSMA first annual FUN RUN is only one week away. All money collected for the run will go towards fitness equipment for the track area. Please help your student with sponsors. If you did not receive a FUN RUN sponsorship form, your student can get one from the office.
Our goal is for each student to collect $30.00, but students may participate in the run whether or not they raise money. Questions about the FUN RUN should be directed to PTO kcsmapto@gmail. com.

Wishing you Well

Mrs. Frey

Kennesaw Charter Science and Math Academy is among 28 schools to be named 2012 Georgia Schools of Excellence by the state Department of Education. KCSMA was recognized as one of the  ‘Highest Progress’ schools for making the greatest gains within their respective congressional districts on the new state College and Career-Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). Kennesaw Charter will receive the iconic Georgia School of Excellence flag and a $1,000 award check from program sponsor United Healthcare.

Schools with the highest Overall CCRPI score in their respective congressional districts are deemed ‘Highest Performance’ Schools of Excellence, while schools with the greatest Progress CCRPI score are recognized in the ‘Highest Progress’ category. Kennesaw Charter Academy scored 91.2 overall and 12.5 Progress points.

Fall picture day is coming up on Tuesday, August 27th! A paper order form will be sent home with students in the next few days. It’s also available online! The order form online must be printed and sent in with your student that day.

Just a reminder… all students MUST be in full uniform (proper pants, shoes, shirts, etc) to have their picture taken. Individual pictures that will go in the yearbook as well as group class photos will be taken that day!
