 Construction Update

Construction Update:
What an exciting time as construction on the new La Porte Intermediate Campus has begun. During Phase #1 of construction, a new entry configuration will be built for the main entry to the intermediate campus, an access road around the building and new parking lots on the North and South sides of Kesling. At this time, the only impact will be the temporary closure of the main entrance at Kesling on Thursday, October 19, 2017 and Friday, October 20, 2017 as these are student days off as Parent/Teacher conferences are held at Kesling. All visitors to the Kesling campus during those days, will have to use the A Street entrance located next to the LPCSC Educational Services Center. We appreciate the patience of everyone during the construction process. |
Parent Teacher Conference Information Student Behavior Expectations Middle School Attendance Brochure Libraries 360
We are excited to announce Libraries 360 for the 2016-2017 school year. Libraries 360 is a cooperative effort of the La Porte County Public Library and the La Porte Community School Corporation with a goal to improve and enhance school libraries and ease access to public library resources. Students may borrow items from the public library and have them delivered to the school. They may also return public library items to the school library. Students will be issued a library card, making public library resources accessible and available to them. More information regarding this exciting program will be shared with all schools when the 2016-2017 school year begins. |
Athletic Handbook Forms & Physical Forms
Athletic Handbook Forms & Physical Forms
Dear Parents/Guardians,
With students beginning to sign up for Sports, we would just like to send out a reminder of the requirements your student must meet to be able to participate.
There are several forms that need to be completed before they can even try out for or begin practice in ANY sport.
These forms are divided into 2 separate packets:
- The Athletic Handbook includes10 Pages, with 4 Forms that need to be filled out COMPLETELY and SIGNED. Please do not remove these forms from the Athletic Handbook. We need the Athletic Handbook stapled together. This way, the forms are easier to file, and therefore, easier for the coaches to access. Some of these forms need the STUDENTS’ signature as well. Please be sure to have them sign before they turn their forms in.
- There are 4 Pages included with the Physical Form. A History Form (completed & signed by Parent/Guardian), a Physical Form (completed & signed by child’s Doctor), IHSAA Eligibility Rules, and a Consent & Release Certificate (signed by Student & Parent). These Pages should also not be separated, making them easier to file, and access.
These forms are available in the Front Office at Kesling, and should be turned in to Mrs. Garrett in the office.
We are PROUD of our Athletes and their accomplishments, and look forward to your child being a part of our team!
Thank you for your cooperation!
Go Kesling! |
Dress Code Reminders for 2017 - 2018 School Year
 As families go shopping for school clothes, we want to make sure that all parents and students are aware of the Kesling student dress code. The two biggest problems encountered regarding student dress is shorts and skirts that are too short and the wearing of pants and shorts that sag and not secure around the waist. Therefore, please make sure that when purchasing items to wear for school the following guidelines are being met.
Students wearing skirts or dresses (if shorter than the knees) to school must have on leggings (not shorts) under the garment. The length of any shorts worn to school must be longer than the edge of fingertips of the student. Any shirts worn to school must have sleeves. Pants must be of appropriate size that match the stature of the individual and must be worn at the waist. NO holes in pants between the waist and knees.
We appreciate everyone following the student dress code, as it will be strictly enforced. Students will be asked to change clothes to meet the dress code guidelines. Working together as a team, we are confident that the dress code will be followed and that this will be another great year at Kesling. |
