There will be a dance on Friday, April 4, 6pm-8pm in the KMS Gym.  Cost is $5 with snacks and water available for purchase.  Here is some important information:

• Any students absent or dismissed early on the day of dance without returning to school are not eligible to attend unless prior arrangements have been made with the office.
• Students who have been suspended (externally or internally) 30 days prior to the dance are not eligible to attend.
• Students may not bring outside drinks or full drink containers/bottles to the dance. All items students bring with them will be held in a separate room for the duration of the dance.
• Students arriving after 6:15 pm will need to be brought to the door by a parent or guardian.
• Students are not able to leave the dance early unless a parent or guardian is present at the door for the pickup.
• Pick-up for the dance is at 8:00 pm sharp. Pick-up will go more smoothly if you arrange ahead of time to meet your child over in the parking lot between the SAU and Mountainside as traffic can back up at the main entrance.

Chaos & Kindness

Success is built on dedication, resilience, and effort. But just as important as working hard is being kind. The kindness we show not only uplifts others but also creates a positive environment that fuels our own growth. So, hustle with purpose, but always take a moment to spread kindness. It’s the secret ingredient that makes the journey worthwhile.

Special Thanks to Recycled Percussion for making the trip up to Conway on Tuesday, March 18th to share your Chaos and Kindness with our Eagles.

1. Go to https://www.myconferencetime.com/kennettms.

If you are unable to sign up for a timeslot with your child’s advisor, please reach our to your child’s advisor who will help you schedule a conference with their partner teacher (see list of partners below).
As a reminder, conferences will be mostly presented by your child. They will talk about the goals they have set and show artifacts of the growth they have made. Additionally, you will receive a 3rd Quarter report card mid-April that will show growth and progress for your child as well.
For your convenience, activities for younger siblings will be provided by our Unified Arts teachers, school counselors and family liaison in the cafeteria during conferences. This will allow the full focus to be on your student during their student led conference.
