CKHS Student Art Gallery

Invitation to Central Kitsap High School Student Art Gallery Reveal Celebration on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 5:30 pm.

Tardy Pass/Extended Passing Passes

Since opening the new building, we have struggled with students unable to travel between the CTE building and certain other classrooms within the 5 minute passing period. This has resulted in an inconsistent system where some teachers excuse students early, some allow students to arrive late, and some students are marked tardy even when they try to make it to class on time. At the start of the 2nd semester we are going to implement a pass system in an attempt to reduce these problems.

First two weeks of Semester 2:
  • All tardies are marked every class- no early release or extra time allowed.
  • Students will not be penalized if they have longer commutes
Beginning Week 3:
  • Students who find they are unable to travel between particular classes within 5 minutes may apply for an Extended Passing (EP) pass
  • EP pass: Approved students may arrive up to 2 minutes late to their next class
  • Passes must be visible and are period-specific
  • We will only approve passes when commutes are genuinely problematic and supported by tardy data.

This system is designed give each student the support they need to arrive to class on time, while allowing us to hold all students to a higher attendance standard. Thanks for your support, and you can expect more information to be shared on this topic over the next few weeks.

Lunch Schedule Adjustment

For the first two weeks of Semester 2, we will operate on a two-lunch model. We believe switching from 3 lunches to 2 lunches will provide a variety of benefits to students and teachers.

  • Additional seating will be added to support the change
  • New lunch schedule released next week
  • We will collect staff, student, family feedback during the 2 week pilot
  • Students lunch will still be based on the 4th period teacher.
  • The new lunch schedule will be released the first day of Semester 2

This is a short-term trial and we may revert back to 3 lunches depending on feedback and outcomes
