KMS NEWSLETTER

Dear KMS Families,

Kodiak Middle School will be hosting Parent/Teacher Conferences on March 12 & 13, and we want to hear from YOU! So far, we have received fewer than 100 responses, and we’re still collecting feedback to help us improve attendance and engagement.

If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, please take a moment to do so—we’d love to reach at least 200 responses!

Click here for the survey OR scan the QR code on the attached flyer.

Students will take a different survey, the annual School Climate and Connectedness Survey, this Friday. We will post that link in our next newsletter for families to submit.

Also, a reminder that our I LOVE THE 90S-themed Friday Night Live is happening this Friday from 6-8 PM! This fun event is hosted by the KMS PTSA and has no admission charge and is open to all KMS students, but please note that students with office referrals for behavior this week may not be eligible to attend.

Thank you for being an active part of our KMS community—we appreciate your input and look forward to seeing you at conferences and Friday Night Live!

Kodiak Middle School student John Paul Manlunas had the unique opportunity to record an assignment at KMXT radio. He lent his voice to an article written by his journalism classmates, highlighting the consequences of vaping and e-cigarettes.

The segment aired in February, bringing important awareness to the community through student-led reporting.

Congratulations to the KMS Volleyball team!
