Dear Kenai Central Kardinals families:
Recently the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) released the 2022-2023 Report Cards to the Public for each school district and school in Alaska. These Report Cards present information about performance for the 2022-2023 school year. During this second administration of The Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) assessment, students in grades 3-9 were assessed in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8, and 10 took the Alaska Science Assessment. Our MAPS testing throughout the year helps teachers to identify gaps in learning before the AK STAR test at the end of the year and Kenai Central would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in administering these vital assessments.
Portions of the Report Card pertaining to Accountability will be delayed until May 2024 as DEED is working to revise the cut scores that determine what achievement levels students will receive. Once the new cut scores are accepted, the calculations will be completed.
To view a 2022-2023 School or District Report Card to the Public, go to https://education.alaska.gov/compass/report-card. Once there, you will be able to select which School or District Report Card to the Public you wish to view. This user-friendly website aims to provide families with clear, common information about all public schools and districts in our State. These Report Cards to the public contain data and information about academics, school environment, teacher quality, and more. If you are unable to access the Report Card to the Public online, please contact your student’s school.
We know that the Report Card to the Public is just one of many ways you will engage with us at Kenai Central. We look forward to sharing our school’s successes with you and working together to make our school better every day. In particular, we are proud that at Kenai Central the report card to the public shows us doing well on graduation rates, creating an environment of respect and rapport for all students, and offering innovative career and technical education opportunities for our Kardinals.
We hope you will closely follow your student’s academic progress and work with his or her teacher(s) to help ensure academic success. Working together as a team, we can improve not only how well our students are performing individually, but how our school and district are performing as a whole. There is nothing more important to administrators and teachers at Kenai Central than ensuring that students are ready for the next step in their academic career. We look forward to partnering with you.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our School or District Report Card to the Public, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 907-283-2100. We also would like to invite you spring parent-teacher conferences. They will be held here at Kenai Central in the auditorium commons on Thursday 2/15 (from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, and then 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm), and Friday 2/16 will be available for families to schedule a specific time with their child’s teacher.
Thank you all for being an active part of your child’s academics.
GO KARDS!
