You may download the checklist I will use to track all N-K students Here:
All Northwood-Kensett students are required to complete these steps as they plan for lives after high school. At Northwood-Kensett, we aim to produce healthy, educated, ethical, and productive students, and these requirements help in that development.
If a student misses an event, he/she will be expected to make it up upon the next opportunity. In special circumstances a student may be excused on a case-by-case basis.
