Update for Kinlani Dorm   April 17, 2013

Yá’át’ééh and Greetings, relatives and  native people. 

Dear Parents and Partners of Kin?ání,

Yá’át’ééh Amá dóó Azhé’é!  I am of the Near-the-Mountain Towering House people, my father’s clan is Red House, my maternal grandparents are Yucca Fruit, and my paternal grandparents are Bitter Water.  I am originally from Gray Mountain (Cameron Chapter), Navajo Nation, Arizona and live in Leupp. 

This is to announce some upcoming events for the Dormitory, and it mirrors the Flagstaff High School schedule.

There is a 3-day weekend May 11, 12 & 13.  The dorm will remain open  this weekend.

There is a 4-day weekend May 17, 18, 19, & 20.  The 17^th & 20^th are the school district’s snow make-up days.  The dorm will close Thursday, May 16^th at 8:00 p.m. and reopen Monday, May 20^th at 2:00 p.m.

There is a 3-day weekend May 25, 26, & 27.  The 27^th is the Memorial Day Holiday.  The dorm will close Friday, May 24^th at 8:00 p.m. and reopen Monday, May 27^th at 2:00 p.m. 

I apologize for any inconvenience this has for you as parents.  As a dormitory staff, we enjoy your child’s intelligence and motivation as he/she pursues an excellent education at Flagstaff High School.  We want them all to succeed. 

For the first semester at Flagstaff High school, 44% of the Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory students made the 3.0 GPA or better Honor Roll at Flagstaff High School.  We want at least 65% of our students to make this esteemed list.  Currently, as of the 3^rd quarter progress reports from the high school 46% of our students are making the honor roll.  Please encourage your child to attend study hall and ask for help from our tutors. 

There is a Native Honor Society Induction Ceremony at NAU on April 23, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.  The dorm will sponsor a Senior and Honor Banquet on May 16^th at 5:00 p.m. to be held at the Flagstaff High School commons area.   The last day of school is May 30^th and graduation is on May 31^st at the NAU Skydome at 3:00 p.m.

Thank you for choosing Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory for your child.
