Week of December 30, 2024

Happy New Year and Welcome Back

We hope everyone had a nice break and is ready to get back on schedule.  We will be back at school on Thursday, January 2, 2025.

Attendance Concerns

We are sending a friendly reminder 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!

Pickup and Drop-Off Reminders

Pick up and drop off during scheduled times should always occur over in the pickup/dropoff area by the football field. Please schedule your drop off time so your child can enter the building by 7:35 am. Only students approved by the Nurse or Principal should be dropped off by the cafeteria.

Thank you for your continued partnership!
