Best in Saunderstown:

This fall, KHA was selected for the 2008 Best in Saunderstown Award by the United States Local Business Association (USLBA). The award recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USLBA identified companies that have left an indelible impact on the community and advance the positive image of local business. For more information on the award, click here.

Mathematics Curriculum:

The major work of the KHA School Improvement Team this year has been investigating various math programs to find one that best meets our students' needs while closely aligning with the state's standards known as the Grade Level Expectations (GLE's). 

The SIT has investigated five programs- Everyday Math, Saxon Math, Houghton Mifflin's Math Expressions, Harcourt Math, and Math Trailblazers. All of the programs substantially differ in their approach, as some stressskill development while others promote more problem-solving and conceptual understanding as an emphasis.
