KMS NEWSLETTER

Dear KMS Families,
We're already about halfway through the third quarter! Now is a great time to check in with your student's grades and help them stay on track by catching up on any missing assignments or tests.
Also, we have a couple of upcoming events to keep in mind:
ELAP Party and Potluck is this Thursday, February 20.
Join us at the Main Elementary from 5:00-7:00 PM for a night of food and community!
Bring food to share, and enjoy fun, games, music and prizes.
7th Grade Bowling Trip, February 28
Seventh graders have the chance to attend a class trip to the bowling alley, but eligibility requirements do apply: academic eligibility includes no D/F grades, and behavior eligibility includes no office referrals. Please see the Announcement section below for more details.
As always, thank you for your support!
