🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 🥧

    This week we will only have school on Monday and Tuesday, as we will be closed to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday Wednesday - Friday! We want to wish all our families a restful and restorative Thanksgiving break. We are thankful for many things this year, but at the very top of that list is you. Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with the warmth and happiness of the season.

If your student(s) will be missing school for an extended period they must complete the Extended Absence Form.  This Absence form can be found on the resources page of the website or can be picked up in Reception.

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 WEEK

We 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!


PTO MEETING

There will be a PTO Meeting on Tuesday Evening (11/19) at Tuckerman Brewing Company (in Conway) at 5pm.  If you would like to help raise funds to support our students swing by and say Hi.
