Soldotna High
The Soldotna High Art Club will be exhibiting art work at the Kenai Fine Arts Center (Gallery Too) in Old Town Kenai throughout the month of November. Please contact the KFAC for hours of operation.
Soldotna High School is collecting gently used formal dresses, shoes, and accessories for 2015 Cinderella’s Closet. This is a program which helps all area high school ladies with prom attire for free. Please email mbos@kpbsd.k12.ak.us <mailto:mbos@kpbsd.k12.ak.us> for more info. All donations can be dropped off to the front office 8am-2pm. Seniors must order their caps/gowns ASAP. Information is available at the front office.Senior pics are due December 1. Digital formatting preferred. Billfold Size. 300 dpi. (*.jpg ) File Format. Email to : lthomas@kpbsd.k12.ak.us <mailto:lthomas@kpbsd.k12.ak.us>
We are collecting pictures to get a jump start for graduation. For the senior video, we are looking for school activities (sports, academics, etc.). We also need baby pictures/senior pictures for the slide show. The best format is to scan them and send to dgordon@kpbsd.k12.ak.us
The Media Center is open until 5pm Monday-Friday. There are buses at 4:15 for those students working in the Media Center. If your student were to stay after school and would need a bus home at 4:15 please contact Tamra Wear at 260.7036 or twear@kpbsd.k12.ak.us <mailto:twear@kpbsd.k12.ak.us> to give her the bus drop off location for your student. ATOSS tutoring will start in the Library on August 25th and run until May 4th from 2:30-3:30pm
Pool Schedule: Am lap swim 5:30-7:30am Mon – Friday, Pm lap swim 6-7 Mon, Wed and Fri, Pm Open swim 7-8:45 Mon, Wed and Friday Sport Calendar – http://www.arbiterlive.com/Teams?entityId=21192. SoHi will be locking the Parking lot entrance Door during the following hours: 7:40 am to 11:55 pm, 12:30 pm to 2:15 pm. Also note that during school hours the only open door will be the Front Entrance Commons/Flag Pole doors. The above is to improve our overall school security. There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose.
If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester,,, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment…that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.
