Along with the team accomplishments above we also sent indi-
viduals to state in the following sports:
Boys Cross Country, Girls Cross Country, Girls Swim/Dive,
Gymnastics, Boys track, Girls Track, Boys Tennis, Boys Golf and
Girls
Golf.
List of
sports that were recognized by the WIAA for having reached the outstanding and distinguished categories for academic accomplish-
Math 88% and Biology (80%) pass
rate. Kamiakin students took 460
different Advanced Placement
tests in 2015. Over 86% of stu-
dents enrolled in Advanced
Placement classes took the end
of course test.
The motto “Be the Best You Can
Be” is more than a slogan at
Kamiakin—it is a commitment to
excellence that permeates all that
we are. Being the best requires
each of us to make a daily com-
mitment in all of our choices. As
we set our goals for the 2015-
2016 school year we need to
reflect upon last year. If you are
new to Kamiakin, this may be the
first time you have heard how
lucky you are to be attending the
top school in the Tri-Cities; if
you have been part of our suc-
cess before — you are the rea-
son why we are the best!
Kamiakin’s reputation as one of
the top academic schools in all of
Washington was reaffirmed with
the academic accomplishments of
our students last year. Members
of the class of 2017 earned a 90%
mark in Reading 88% and passed
writing at 92%. They also posted
the highest ever rates on the End
of Course Assessments;
Our students competed at the high-
est level and earned conference,
district, regional championships and
State Championships.

These sports represent nearly 900
student-athletes who choose to be
committed in both the classroom as
well as on the playing field. Excel-
lence is defined by more than exter-
nal records and awards. It is a quality
carried deep within the heart of a
good teacher, a good coach or a
good student- a quality reflected by
being a BRAVE.
Kamiakin’s success wasn’t limited to
the playing field; we also competed
in various Vocational and Academic
competitions throughout the year
including; FFA, Real World Design,
DECA, Music, Drama and
Knowledge Bowl. In these areas our
students used the knowledge that
they gained in classes and competed
against other students throughout
the region, the state and the nation.
Research shows that students who
are involved in school are more
likely to be academically successful.
They are less likely to drop-out of
school, less likely to abuse substanc-
es. We encourage all students to
find a way to be involved.
We hope that you look forward to
the upcoming year as much as we
do.
Along with the team accomplish-
ments above we also sent individu-
als to state in the following sports:
Boys Cross Country, Girls Cross
Country, Girls Swim/Dive, Gym-
nastics, Boys track, Girls Track,
Boys Tennis, Boys Golf and Girls
Golf.

year may be the use of Roundup or
equal to control weeds around build-
ing, parking lots, along fence lines and
to mark athletic fields. Commercially
available materials may be used to
control ants, bees, wasps and or yellow
jackets in and around buildings. Con-
tracted services are normally used
when products available to us simply
will not control or eliminate the pest
or pests.
When the use of pesticides is necessary
notification to parents, guardians and
staff members is required 48 hours
prior to the application. A notification
notice will be posted in a prominent
location, usually on the main entrance
to the school. The notice will include,
as a minimum, the product name of the
pesticide to be applied, the intended
date and time of application, the loca-
tion to which the pesticide will be
applied, the pest to be controlled and
the name and phone number of the
contact person at the school. If a par-
ent, guardian or staff member requests
individual notification of a pesticide
application, they will need to fill out a
registration form available at the school
office. Whenever a pesticide applica-
tion is necessary, a notice will be sent
home prior to the application.
Pre-notification requirements do not
apply if the application is made when
the school will not be occupied by
students for at least two consecutive
days after the application. An applica-
tion made on Friday evening after stu-
dents have left does not require pre-
notification. Additionally, an applica-
tion of an anti-microbial pesticide such
as disinfectants, cleansers, bleaches or
the placement of insect or rodent baits
that are not accessible to children, do
not require notifica-
tion. Pre-notification requirements do
not apply to any emergency application
for the control of any pest that poses
immediate human health or safety
threat, such as an application to control
stinging insects. When an emergency
application is made notification shall
occur as soon as possible after the
application.
The IPM program includes records of
applications made within school facili-
ties. Additional information concerning
IPM can be obtained by calling the KSD
Buildings & Grounds Department at
222-5867. Annual report of pesticide
usage is available in September of each
year for the preceding year.
The District’s Buildings and Grounds
Manager shall serve as the IPM coordi-
nator. He/She will coordinate any
modifications or changes in the pro-
gram.
During the 2001 legislative session
Senate Bill 5533 was passed and signed
by Governor Lock requiring the post-
ing and notification of pesticide applica-
tions at schools and day-care centers.
The bill took effect July 1, 2002 and
requires that written notification be
given annually or upon enrollment to
parents or guardians of students and
employees describing the school’s pest
control policy and methods including
notification requirements.
Maintaining a safe and healthy learning
environment for our students and staff
is very important to the Kennewick
School District. As part of our commit-
ment to this goal, the district has im-
plemented an Integrated Pest Manage-
ment (IPM) program throughout the
district to keep the district free of
pests such as noxious weeds, harmful
insects, rodents and vermin. IPM em-
phasizes prevention and common sense
strategies rather than responding to a
pest nuisance with pesticides. Through
IPM the district focuses on non-
chemical means of pest control. At
times, the use of a pesticide may be
required to control a pest.
Pesticides when required can either be
applied by school district employees,
custodians, grounds and maintenance
personnel or a contracted commercial
pesticide applicator. Typical applica-
tions of pesticides during the school

2015 Fair Results — Kamiakin FFA had another outstanding year. Attached is the FFA results from this year’s Benton Franklin Fair.
HORSE: Kamiakin had two small teams (less than a full team) compete in horse judging. This is one of the most complex of the three contests as it requires in-depth knowledge of skeletal structure as well as muscle deposition on the animal. They also must be familiar with the different breeds and each of their specific structural characteristic. Finally they must understand how a horse is going to be used and determine if the animal has the physical attributes to be successful at their job.
Team 1 placed 8th out of 18 teams
Team 2 placed 18th (this was a three member team of brand new judgers)

Livestock: Kamiakin had one team participate in the livestock contest. This is also a more difficult contest as it deals with understanding the mus-cling and fat deposition on several species of animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, and sometimes goats). This is the largest and most competitive of the three contests as 51 teams from all over the state came to participate.
Team placed 18th overall
Trevor Moore place 5th high individual (51 teams with 4-5 members per team----Pretty Awesome!)

DAIRY: This contest is the easiest of the three from the standpoint that it requires less overall knowledge about the animal and it’s confor-mation. Although less in-depth knowledge of anatomy is required, students must learn enough to evaluate the milk production capacity of various breeds of animals. They must also look at structural soundness to determine how well they will hold up in a herd of cows during long term pro-duction. This contest had 37 teams from all over the state participate.
Team 1 placed 2nd overall (this team consisted of 4 brand new members----WOW, what a start!)
