Hail, Trolls!

Well, my Friends, the Time is at Hand. Below is information for the Class of 2026 Commencement Exercises. See you in a Week!

CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATE!
Now What?

1. Our Graduation Ceremony is Wednesday, June 3rd, in Boswell Hall on the North Idaho College campus. There will be a MANDATORY rehearsal that same day at 11 a.m., same place. You must be at the site no later than 5:30 that night. Doors open to the public at 6 p.m., the actual Ceremony begins at 6:30 sharp and usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.

2. We will be issuing tickets for this year’s ceremony. Please go to this link: https://kbascholarship.formstack.com/forms/graduating_senior_registration and fill out the form. This will help us know how many tickets each Grad gets. We will hand out tickets at rehearsal when we know for sure what kind of numbers to expect, but plan on getting at least 5-7. If you don’t need that many, please give them back to us so we can give them to Graduates with larger families.

3. Cap and Gowns, Announcements, Class Rings and just about everything else is available from Jostens. Go to this link: https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/productDetail/1958121/KOOTENAI-BRIDGE-ACADEMY/Cap-and-Gown/2145603580/CATALOG_REPOSITORY/Cap-and-Gown-Unit/2145603647 to place your order. You MUST order a Cap and Gown to participate in commencement exercises. If you do not want to purchase your gear, we have loaners available, but please make sure you do one or the other.

4. STAY IN TOUCH. As Graduation gets closer, come by the school, call us or check the website for any late breaking announcements.

5. If you have questions about continuing your education whether in college or a vocational program, talk to Heather and she will help you out.

6. One final thing about the ceremony itself: If at all possible, children under 2 should not attend. We love you, we love your family, but there are a thousand people in this hall roaring their approval for your accomplishment, and it scares the heck out of the babies; then they cry for the rest of the ceremony and no one is happy. If you have to bring them, go ahead, but if you can make other arrangements, we’d appreciate it.

AGAIN – CONGRATULATIONS!

Hail, Trolls!

This is a reminder that the Silverwood trip with be this Thursday, 5/21. Bus leaves at 9 and will be back no later than 3. We've decided to keep the Building open 8-3 if you need to come in to do work, but it will be a skeleton crew since most of the teachers are going to the park. If you come in to take Finals in Math or Science, you will be on your own! 😉

SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED Friday and Monday for Memorial Day Weekend.

GRADUATION IS JUNE 3rd - TIME IS UP!!! 🤨

Hail, Trolls!

Two Items for your urgent consideration, Good People.

1. Permission Slips for Silverwood are due THIS THURSDAY, May 14th. So far, only TEN students have turned them in! For a Charter Bus that holds 56! The weather forecast looks beautiful (Sunny and mid 70s), the BBQ lunch they make is delicious (worth going right there) and it's Silverwood! C'mon, Guys, get outside and have some fun. 😊

2. The Graduation Countdown clicker is now up on Connexus Annoucements - 23 Days left! If you plan on walking in the Ceremony, the time to take care of business is NOW. The Building should be packed with students taking Finals, but it is only a third full. I don't want to see broken hearts, angry parents and disappointed grandparents on the 3rd, so get in here and FINISH. BTW, if you are a Parent reading this and want to check on your Seniors status, email me at [email protected] and I will happily give you an update.

Let's end the year Troll Strong, People! 💪

Hail, Ye Mighty Trolls!

May is nearly upon us, and that means it's time for our yearly trip to Silverwood amusement park! Come join us on Thursday, May 21st, while we go have some fun!

To join the festivities you must do the following:

1. Be a student in Good Standing. That means your Connexus account is active OR you have completed all your work on Connexus OR you are already a 2026 Graduate.

2. You must fill out a Permission Slip and have it to Dodi by Thursday, May 14th at Noon. We have to pre-order tickets, so this is a MUST on the deadline. If you are 18 you can sign your own, if you are under 18 you need a Parent or Guardian to sign.

3. You MUST ride the Charter Bus to and from KBA. Be here at the school at 9 am. We will have you back here at 3 pm, make sure you have a ride home. We make you ride the bus so we can make sure everyone is accounted for and no one is stranded. The ONLY exception is if you live in Athol or parts north of there, please let us know if this is the case.

This is always a hoot, we hope you can join us!

Charles

Hail to Thee, Ever Victorious Trolls!

This Thursday, April 23, the Building will be CLOSED from 11-2 as we gather for our yearly sojourn to Triple Play.

Show up there at 11 (this is a self-transportation situation) and look for me or one of the Staff. We'll sign you in, give you a bracelet and you are good to go for everything but the Water Park. Lunch is included (their food is not bad) AND, if you come, that will count for your Attendance for the day - what a deal!

The Building will be open 8-10:45 and 3-6 on this day if you want to come in for schoolwork, but I hope you can find some time to come join us for silly fun.
