Parent Brag Sheet

PARENT “BRAG” SHEET

 Throughout the school year, we have the opportunity to observe your son or daughter as a student and a member of the KHS community. We gather stories and anecdotes from teachers and administrators that help us to develop a more holistic perspective of your child as we combine all of these pieces together to create a comprehensive letter of recommendation. This year, we are opening the door for your feedback. As a parent, you have stories and insight that we may never see within the walls of KHS. Therefore, we invite you to share stories, discuss accomplishments, and illustrate the many strengths of your son or daughter by responding to the questions below. Please return completed brag sheets to the attention of your student’s college counselor via email or by mailing them to: KHS Guidance, 801 W Essex Ave, Kirkwood, MO 63122. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
