Principal’s Corner
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a great start to 2016, and I hope this message finds you on track with all your resolu ons and plans for the new year! As we wrap up
finals this week, parents and guardians, please take me to reflect with your student(s) how
they are progressing towards their high school goals and plans for becoming career and/or
college ready. Whether your sons or daughters are 9th graders or soon-to-be grads, taking
me to prepare for the next level is always worth the effort. If it is a con nued commitment
to academics or another aspect of students’ high school pathways that need a-en on, we at
CKHS stand ready to support. Remember, the CKHS library is open on Mondays, Tuesdays,
and Wednesdays un l 5:00 PM and Thursdays and Fridays un l 3:30 and offers a myriad of
services for students from tutoring to research help, technology, and so much more. Even as
a quiet place to read or study, the CKHS Library is a great place to learn and connect with
resources and people. Not to forget that if career pathways are also on your mind, our Career Center is open un l 4:00 PM every day as well.
The first semester ends on January 28th, and semester two begins on February 1st. Semester
report cards will go home with students before mid-February, and of course, Parent Access
will be updated to reflect final semester grades at the same me. If your student is struggling
academically, please do not hesitate to contact his/her counselor or individual teachers to
arrange for addi onal help, or simply know this is a good me to get on your Parent Access
account and review current grades with your sons or daughters. If you do not have a Parent
Access account, please call the main office at 662-2400, and our staff can gladly help you
with ge@ng your account. If tutoring help is something that is needed, tutors can be arranged by calling Steve Trunkey, our Tutor Coordinator @ 662-2422.
As a con nuing reminder, safety in our parking lots remains a priority during the dark winter
months. Please use extreme cau on when dropping off or picking up your students or driving in and around the parking lots of CKHS.
The Cougar Communicator provides you with a wealth of good informa on for you and your
student. If your son or daughter is a senior, this edi on is par cularly important as we get
headed toward the spring months. Please check this edi on thoroughly. Running Start students should pay close a)en on to the spring dates and requirements included and have
ul mate responsibility to get themselves informed. The Central Kitsap High School website
can be found at h-p://www-ckhs.cksd.wednet.edu/ and has all the informa on you will
need for your family to find success at CKHS.
I am pleased, as always, to be serving the students and families of Central Kitsap High School.
“Dedicated to Excellence”, our schools Mission and mo-o, has always relied greatly on parent support, and we rely again on you to help your students be successful this and next semester. Should you need any help from me or our other administrators, please do not hesitate to contact us. We wish you great success in the coming months of our second semester!

AP SCHOLARS NAMED
The 2015-2016 AP Program at Central Kitsap High School administered 933 exams covering 23
content areas. Approximately 452 students sat for AP Exams last May. While this accomplishment
is recognized by the College Board with respect to Advanced Placement, we know that it is the
hard work, culture, and Dedication to Excellence of all staff members that make this distinction
possible.
Of the approximately 452 students who tested, 143 of them have received recognition for academic excellence on their exams.
The College Board also recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’
performances on AP Exams.

Through 34 different college-level courses and exams, AP provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in
the college admission process. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university
faculty and AP teachers, ensuring that AP Exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions. More
than 3,800 colleges and universities annually receive AP scores. Most four-year colleges in the United States provide credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying exam scores. Research consistently shows that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams (based on a scale from 1 to 5,
with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher
college graduation rates than students who do not participate in AP.
Please celebrate and take a chance to acknowledge all staff and students for their hard work. These
are honors well deserved from every corner of this school.

Library News: January, 2015
Flood Recovery in the Library: Last year’s unfortunate flood incident was a significant impact on the school,
par cularly because of the ming at that busy end of the school year. The good news is that we are fully recovered, with improvements in both the library space and our collec on of books. Books and shelves were
completely destroyed in sec ons
for sports, poetry, literature,
and biographies. While the majority of the ruined books had
not been checked out in many
years, the replacements are
mely and popular selec ons
with great reviews. Also, the
recovery process led to improvements throughout the en re
non-fic on collec on. Reimagining the space while it was
open let us add new flexible and
comfortable sea ng and displays
for collabora ve group work.
Kitsap Regional Library Resources for CKHS students: As part of our registra on paperwork, many students
filled in a paper applica on for a public library card. Unfortunately, that form is no longer used by KRL. However, the applica on process is online and easy to do! A bu-on on the middle of their home page gets you to
this registra on page: h-p://www.krl.org/cards
The public library has some incredible resources for high school students, and some of the best of these never even require a physical visit to the library. Here are a few important ones to know about:
•
•
•
•
Free test prep from Learning Express Library for exams such as SAT, ACT, and AP courses.
BrainFuse Homework help, which includes free live online tutoring from 1PM to 10PM.
Numerous robust online databases on every subject.
Downloads of great stuff – free music, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines
Bring your own device (BYOD) at CKHS: Our school has recognized that many students have devices of their
own that they would prefer to use rather than the ones we provide. We can all expect a greater role for electronic devices in schools in the coming years, and having your own device is a great way to avoid many of the
frustra ons associated with using shared devices set up generically for numerous users. Here is a link to the
CKHS policy: h-p://www-ckhs.cksd.wednet.edu/PDF/CKHS%20BYOD%2014_15.pdf
Your library staff is happy to help you connect your device to our Wifi. We can also point you to some of the
amazing resources we are able to provide. Many of these, such as apps and downloads, will be far more
sa sfying on a device you are bringing home with you.
Volunteer Generals
We are very fortunate at CKHS to have a large army of volunteers helping to shore up the fortifications of
our school. Each one contributes in unique and effective ways to strengthen our ability to offer a quality
education, and extra-curricular opportunities. In an effort to express our appreciation, each month we recognize a volunteer that has spent many hours in selfless service. So far this year, we have honored a corps
of ladies that work tirelessly to serve: Lesa Keith, has led our Band Boosters battalion this year in its continued music superiority. Hiromi Ewy, and Rika Fletcher lead our Japanese students in conquering this
difficult language. And Mary Beth Fergus has been leading the Grad Nite Brigade, assuring that our seniors will have a fantastic end-of-year celebration. Not a week has passed this year without seeing all these
women in our halls quietly directing, organizing, and advancing the cause of CKHS’s Dedication to Excellence! Please join the staff and students at CK in thanking these tireless officers.

KNOWING OTHER LANGUAGES BRINGS OPPORTUNITIES
Many students and parents know that two or three years of high school credit for studying a
language other than English is required for acceptance at most four year colleges and universities, but many are unaware of the benefits of studying and knowing another language. According to the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages (ADFL), all students should
also consider studying a new language because of the following opportunities that it offers:
1. Students gain a competitive edge. Research has shown that math and verbal SAT
scores climb higher with each additional year of foreign language study; that studying a
foreign language strengthens analytic and interpretive capacities; and that three or more
years of language study or more is highly regarded by college and university acceptance
boards.
2. Workers acquire a job advantage in a global economy. As more and more businesses work closely with companies in other countries and/or work with the large number of Americans who speak languages other than English, knowing more than one language enhances opportunities in career fields such as business, medicine and health care,
teaching, communications, social services, technology, industry, the military, government and marketing.
3. Students learn about other cultures. Studying a new language provides the opportunity to learn about and make connections with people of a different culture, plus gain a
new perspective on one’s own culture. This enables students to communicate more effectively with the diverse people in their communities and beyond.
Students are encouraged to discover the variety of languages offered at Central Kitsap High
School and choose to study the one that appeals to them most. All of them offer the advantages of second language study.

High School & Beyond Requirements, Deadlines
As part of the state and district graduation requirements, all seniors must complete, and submit for approval, the documentation included in the High School & Beyond Portfolio. These documents include
the senior’s Career Search, Personal Education Plan, Resume, Cover Letter, a Personal Statement, and at least two examples of their Best Works. Students are also encouraged to include a
Personal Statement, at least two examples of their Best Works, letter(s) of recommendation, and
awards/certificates.
Seniors currently enrolled in a Civics Class should have all the documents submitted, approved and uploaded to the WOIS Portfolio Website by January 9th. Seniors enrolled in Semester
2 Civics will need to complete these requirements by May 20th. Seniors enrolled in AP Government,
and AP Psychology will need to complete these requirements by January 28th.
Heads Up—Registration for 2016-2017
In late February and early March students will begin the registration process for the 2016-2017 school
year. Counselors will visit classrooms to explain the process to students and provide them with
course catalogs and course worksheets. This information is designed to help students make wise
choices for their future.
Sophomores and juniors will receive updated credit checks so they can see how they are progressing
toward graduation. Parents are asked to review the registration materials, and talk with their student
about the classes they choose before signing the registration form. Watch for the Counseling Newsletter for dates.
Parent Access
PowerSchool Parent Access is available through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Parent Access is an Internet
based program that allows parents to be more involved in their child's education. Parent Access is provided to

FLU SEASON IS HERE
Preventative actions:
Get your flu vaccine. The CDC recommends
that everyone older than six months old receive the flu vaccine every year. It is not too
late to get your vaccine for this year, and it is
available at most doctor’s offices (though not
the Doctor’s Clinic ), drug stores, and our local health department.
Wash your hands frequently using soap and water and plenty of friction. If not available, use
hand sanitizers.
Cover your mouth/nose with your sleeve or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of tissue properly.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread easily this way.
Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
Stay at home if you are ill, avoid contact with others.
Do not return to work or school until you have been fever free for 24 hours.
Practice good health habits – eat nutritiously, get plenty of rest, stay active and do
your best to manage stress!
Symptoms of influenza:
Fever / body aches
Headache
Extreme fatigue
Dry cough
Sore throat
Nasal and sinus congestion
What you should do if you get the flu:
Rest (extremely important)
Drink plenty of extra fluids (necessary when you have a fever to prevent dehydration)
Take over the counter medication to help relieve your symptoms such as pain relievers, cough medication or decongestant
Contact your physician to see if you need antiviral medication (remember influenza is
caused by a virus, so antibiotics will not cure it)
Avoid alcohol and smoking
Stay home, away from others, until your fever is gone for 24 hours
New Chickenpox Requirement for Grades 7-12
Washington state law requires all students in all grades to have two doses of
Varicella vaccine before the 2016-2017 school year. (Students who have already had
two doses of vaccine do not have to repeat it.) Students will need proof of two doses,
a signed certificate of exemption, OR disease verification by a health care provider.
What is Varicella? Varicella vaccination protects against the virus that causes
chicken pox and the serious complications which can sometimes accompany the disease. Many children have had one vaccination prior to starting school yet the CDC
now recommends all children, teens, and adults have two vaccinations. Two doses of
the vaccine are about 98% effective at preventing chickenpox.
“Why should I worry about my student getting chickenpox? I had them when I
was a child.” Prior to the Varicella vaccination, almost 4 million people contracted
chickenpox every year. About 10,600 would be hospitalized with complications and
100-150 patients would die each year. Adolescents are at a higher risk for developing
complications from the disease, as are infants, elderly, pregnant women, and people
with weakened immune systems.
Letters will be sent out this spring to families whose student(s) need a second vaccination. Please contact the school nurse, CKSD
Health Services, or your child’s health care provider for more information. Health Services
phone#: 662-1070.
