KVA Student/Parent/Guardian Update September 2025

Welcome back to the 25-26 school year! We ushered 20 graduates across the stage in June and graduated 2 more in August. We are excited that you are part of this thriving program.

Count Day - October 1st, 2025
Count day is just around the corner! October 1st, 2025 is the day where KVA students have to be on-site to be “counted” for our State Pupil Count. In the link below, you will find a sign-up genius for (3) different sessions. Students only need to be present for 1 session. Please only sign up for one session. If you need to change your session at any time, just click on the link and change your time.

Edgenuity Grades and Progress Reports
The KVA uses a platform called Edgenuity to house our classes. Therefore, all grades and progress are housed here as well. We have set up parent/guardian accounts so that you can monitor your students' grades. You will be sent an access code specific to your child. It will be sent to the email address that you have filed with the school. If that email needs to be changed, please call Mrs. LoFiego to make that change (810) 591-5385. The grade reports can be overwhelming, so please see the following link for a brief explanation.

Class Progress: One class at a time or working on all 6?

You may work on one class at a time. Many students find it easier to focus this way.
If you are choosing this option: you MUST complete one class every 3 weeks.
You will need to have 3 classes completed by the end of the 1st Marking Period, (Thursday, October 30).
Questions: talk to your mentor, or contact Mrs. LoFiego.

Mrs. LoFiego’s Google Text/Phone Line:

The text line will be open on regularly scheduled school days: (810) 341-2105
If Mrs. LoFiego is not at work that day or offsite for a meeting, there may be a delay in a response.

Students MUST take all 3 parts of the Michigan Merit Exam (MME) and earn a
valid score on each subtest: PSAT, SAT, WorkKeys, M-Step Science/Social Studies.
