Staff Underground Spirit Week
This week the KMS Staff did the TikTok Famous Underground Spirit Week. Students were not told about this and the staff showed up and surprised the students with something different every day. Check out the photos below - Tuesday - Flannel Day, Wednesday - Anything but a Cup Day, Thursday - Hawaiian Day, Friday - Formalwear. We can't wait to see what the students do for their Spirit Week.
KMS SPIRIT WEEKWe will have a KMS Spirit Week this week! Check out the flyer below and help your student(s) plan their outfits for the week! 🤍💛🖤🦅
ATTENDANCE CONCERNS
We have made it through the first quarter and working hard to make the necessary adjustments having added Grade 6 to the middle school, as well as many new staff. We are now reaching out to emphasize the critical role of daily attendance and punctuality in your child's success here at KMS. As absences and tardies add up, letters will be sent home. Please talk with your child about their attendance and let them know that each day at school builds on previous learning, and being present and on time ensures they don’t miss essential lessons, interactions, and activities that contribute to their academic and social growth.
Arriving on time not only helps your child start the day prepared but also fosters a sense of responsibility and routine that is invaluable for their future. Missing even a few days can lead to gaps in understanding and increased stress as students try to catch up.
Students may enter the building at 7:25 and must be in their homeroom by 7:35. We encourage parents to drop off students between 7:15 and 7:25 as it is difficult to make it into the building on time if they arrive later than that. Students also have the opportunity to have breakfast in the cafeteria and socialize with friends at 7:25. We hope to make significant improvements to student attendance over the next quarter!
Thank you for your continued partnership!
