🎨✨ Mrs. Sutton’s AP Seminar class explored how art can build community & sharpen communication skills! Students gave only verbal instructions to guide their classmates’ drawings—from simple shapes to complex images—without seeing the results until the end. The big reveal brought lots of laughs and insights about teamwork & clarity! 🤝🖌️

💡📘 Students out — teachers in.

At Herbert Hoover High School, teacher leaders and administrators from every school launched the brand-new KCS Instructional Playbook. This playbook has six “plays” (lessons) designed to boost student confidence, spark engagement, and get everyone involved in learning. These leaders will share the plays back at their schools on the next PL Day so all teachers can put them into action. 🙌 As the year goes on, more "plays" will be added to the playbook!

Meanwhile, our Student Support Services team met at South Charleston High School to collaborate on best practices and strategies that help ensure every KCS student has a healthy, safe, and successful education.

👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 PL Days are all about sharpening skills, sharing ideas, and building stronger schools — When our teachers grow, our students win. 💙💚❤️

🚍 New Way to Find KCS Bus Changes 🚍

We’ve added a “Bus Changes” quick link at the top of the KCS website!

✅ This link will take you to a page with all AM and PM bus changes, organized by terminal.
✅ Beginning Tuesday(9/2), district-wide bus changes will ONLY be posted on this page by the KCS Transportation Department.
✅ Some schools may still share their own school-specific bus changes on Schoology, but district-wide updates will not appear on Schoology anymore.

👉 Be sure to check the “Bus Changes” link daily for the most up-to-date information.

We hope this makes it easier for families to quickly find the information you need!

🎓✨ Introducing: Path to the Stage ✨🎓

At Kanawha County Schools, our goal is simple but powerful: every student graduates high school on time with their cohort.

That journey doesn’t just begin senior year—it starts the moment a student walks through our doors. To celebrate the big steps and the small ones, we’re launching a new weekly feature called Path to the Stage. Each week, we’ll share stories of students across KCS who are building their futures one milestone at a time.

📍 Our first spotlight takes us to Carver Career Center, where first-year students in the Carpentry program (high school juniors) kicked off with an icebreaker lesson. Using a simple tape measure, students practiced teamwork and communication—and even learned the importance of a professional handshake.

Because Career & Technical Education (CTE) is more than just mastering a trade. It’s about building the soft skills—like confidence, professionalism, and communication—that will carry students from the classroom to graduation… and beyond.

👏 Congratulations for taking this important step on your Path to the Stage!
