September 2021
WELCOME TO 2021-22!

We had a great first week and it is so wonderful to see students back and engaged in all of the fantastic learning opportunities in KM Perform. Our students have already begun a filming project for Legends and Lore, and band students have resumed their role as the unofficial house band for the Honor Flights at Mitchell International Airport, welcoming home veterans after their visit to their WWII, Korean, and Vietnam memorials in Washington D.C.

New Parent Meeting
There will be a new parent meeting on September 15th at 6:00 pm. We will give you a broad overview of how KM Perform works as well as discuss how to monitor student progress. This meeting is designed for parents new to KM Perform and is appropriate for both brand new parents, parents whose learners started last year, or parents who would just like a refresher course in KM Perform.

This meeting will be hosted in the high school auditorium but we will also host this meeting virtually at the same time. Visit kmperform.com and select the Current Families section on the day of the meeting for the link. 
First Workshop Series
Our first workshop series with the theme of “How to Perform” included a variety of workshops to help students get started on their goals and credit for the year. Here’s a list of workshops students were able to choose:

Our first official seminar series begins on September 20th with a 5-week seminar. Students will be choosing their seminars next week.
Student Goals
Students will be finished setting their course goals by Friday this week. Our next update will show you how to sign up for the parent digest and receive a weekly report. For now, we ask you to sit down with your learner and view MyLC to see what goals they have set. Some questions to ask your learner:

  • Which courses are in your workshop right now?
  • Which courses are you going to look for the next time you choose seminars?
  • Which courses are you most concerned about?

Goals are similar to signing up for high school courses - they are a way for a student to declare which courses they intend to get credit in over the course of the year, and estimate when they intend to start earning credit and when they think they will complete the course. Goal-setting allows instructors and students to monitor the pace of progress.
Staff List & Mentor Assignments
Below is our list of staff and contact information for 2021-2022. Typically email is the quickest way to reach staff members directly. Your learner’s mentor is generally the most direct line for information as they have daily contact with students.
