• General Information

     

    Apparel

    Students will be expected to dress neatly in a manner appropriate for the career fields associated with the class in which they are enrolled. Instructors will limit clothing that can become a safety concern when working in proximity to machinery. Hats, caps and other head coverings are prohibited at KTHS unless it is a safety requirement approved by the instructor.

    Each Wednesday is Professional Dress Day at KTHS. Professional attire appropriate to the career field and/or suitable for job interviews is required. Students will follow instructor’s lead for Professional Dress Day.

    Any clothing which, in the opinion of the teacher or school administration is substantially disrupting to the school or work environment is prohibited.

     


    Fines

    All fines must be paid by the end of the semester.

     

    Grading

    As in all courses, you will be graded according to the skills you are able to obtain and demonstrate. Test scores, quizzes and the quality of the work and projects you complete in your KTHS course are included in your grade. In addition, you will be graded on your degree of professionalism. Employers indicate that they look for employees who are punctual, reliable in terms of attendance, have a positive attitude, and exhibit good general work habits. These characteristics are often more important than the skill level of entry-level applicants according to most businesses and industries that hire our graduates. Therefore, all courses include a professionalism component as 25 percent of the total grade. This component includes punctuality, attendance, general work habits, and attitude in completing projects assigned whether students work by themselves, with a supervisor or with fellow students on a team.

     

    Hall passes

    During class time, students must secure a pass from their instructor if they are to be outside the classroom for any reason. Students without a pass or abusing the pass privilege (e. g., visiting friends in another classroom, socializing in the halls) will be considered truant and subject to the sanctions listed under truancies in this handbook.

     

    Personal Electronic Devices

    Development of teamwork, interpersonal, and communication skills take priority over “screen time.” All personal devices are to be turned off during instructional time, from 10:15am to 11:45am. and 1:05pm to 2:35pm Mondays and from 9:15am to 11:15am and 12:35pm to 2:35pm Tuesdays - Fridays.  In the event of an emergency, parents may call our main office (742-8900) and we will deliver messages to students.
