INTRODUCING: CONNECT ENRICHMENT!
Today at Kaplan High School, we tried something a little different, and the smiles were for MILES!
One of our most important goals this year is simple: CONNECTION. Our students spend so much of their lives looking at screens, so on Fridays during Enrichment, we are intentionally putting the devices away and creating time for something incredibly important: each other.
Welcome to CONNECT ENRICHMENT!
Our students want to be seen. They want to be heard. And they want to know their teachers as people who can laugh with them, listen to them, challenge them, and relate to them beyond the daily lesson.
Today, classrooms were filled with conversations, laughter, real-world life lessons, and some fun, out-of-the-box challenges. And yes, some of our students even discovered the lost art of writing their own names in cursive! 😂
There was no program to log into. No screen to stare at. Just teachers and students spending intentional time together, learning things that matter in everyday life and building relationships that make everything else we do at school stronger.
Because sometimes the most important thing we can give a student isn't another assignment.
It's our time. Our attention. Our connection.
This is CONNECT ENRICHMENT, and judging by the smiles we saw today, we think we're onto something pretty special.
At Kaplan High School, LEGENDS ARE MADE, and connection is part of how we make them. 🏴☠️

Save the date: Tuesday, Sept. 8th, we will be hosting our annual OPEN HOUSE. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to meet the wind behind our sails and to get important classroom information from each of our LEGENDARY teachers.
We will follow up the evening with a Community Pep Rally at 6:35 pm.
We ask that anyone entering the school please enter through the front entrance of the building.
We will see you soon!

NATIONAL DOG DAY AT KAPLAN HIGH! 🐾
Today may have been National Dog Day, but at Kaplan High, it turned into a day filled with SMILES, LAUGHTER, and so much JOY!
Our faculty and staff shared photos of their precious pups, and throughout the day, our students and staff got to check them all out and vote for their favorite. And let me tell you, they had an absolute BLAST! There was plenty of serious debate over who was the cutest, lots of “AWWWWs” in the hallways, and more than a few proud dog parents campaigning for their babies!
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that bring people together, and today was one of those days. Seeing our kids laughing, talking, voting, and celebrating our furry family members brought such a fun energy to our campus. JOY was everywhere today!
And now for our official winner...
CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. JAIME HEBERT!
Her absolutely precious baby duo photo stole the hearts of our Pirates and earned FIRST PLACE in our National Dog Day photo contest!
Thank you to everyone who shared their pups with us and helped make today another fun memory at Kaplan High School. We loved celebrating ALL of our adorable four-legged family members!
Just another little moment that makes Kaplan High such a special place to be. Legends Are Made here, and apparently, some pretty legendary pups are raised here too! 🏴☠️

As we continue to beat the heat during August, our staff was treated to a LEMONADE STAND today to celebrate all their hard work since school began!
And after all, it IS National Lemonade Day;)
We love our little Pirate family.
Special thanks to Mrs. Katelyn Bares for setting up this precious stand for our teachers.

📌 IMPORTANT UNIFORM CLARIFICATION FOR KHS STUDENTS & FAMILIES
We would like to provide an important clarification regarding KHS uniform shirts.
Today, we became aware that some students were wearing shirts that closely resemble our approved KHS PBIS uniform shirts but are not approved KHS uniform shirts.
Students wearing these shirts today were informed of the concern and given a warning so that students and families would have an opportunity to correct the issue.
Please be aware that a shirt’s similarity in color, design, or appearance to an approved KHS PBIS shirt does not make it an approved uniform shirt. Students are expected to wear shirts that meet the uniform requirements established by Kaplan High School and Vermilion Parish School District policy.
Beginning tomorrow, students wearing shirts that do not meet the established uniform requirements will be considered out of uniform. Any violations will be addressed in accordance with established school and district policies and procedures.
Our final order of approved KHS uniform shirts has arrived, and we began distributing those shirts to students today.
We appreciate the cooperation and support of our students and families as we work to ensure that uniform expectations are communicated and applied consistently.
Thank you for your continued support of Kaplan High as we make this year LEGENDARY! 🏴
