Dear KMS Families,
We have a busy few weeks ahead and wanted to make sure you have all the important dates on your radar.
First, a big shoutout to all of our 8th graders for their incredible science fair projects! We are so proud of the hard work and creativity they poured into them.
On Monday, March 9, fifty pre-selected 8th grade students will be taking the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress). They should come prepared for a normal school day.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 from 4:30 to 7:30 PM both evenings. Open hours and scheduled appointments are available each night, and a Tech Help table for PowerSchool and Schoology will be on hand as well. All families are welcome to drop in. If you have questions or would like to set up a meeting, please give us a call at 907-486-7460. On Thursday, our PTSA will be sponsoring a meal in the commons, so come hungry and enjoy some pancit and lumpia with other KMS staff and families!
Friday, March 13 will feature a modified schedule with a pep rally to recognize KMS Winter Sports in the afternoon to send everyone off in style. Spring Break runs March 16 through 20, and we hope your family enjoys a well-deserved rest!
If you have not yet completed the School Climate and Connectedness Survey, please note that the deadline is March 20. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us continue to make KMS a better place for every student.
Please keep in mind that the end of the grading period is Friday, March 27, the week after we return. Encouraging students to tackle any outstanding assignments before the break is a great way to set them up for a strong finish to the quarter.
Thank you, as always, for your partnership!
Rena Rankin, Principal
Judith Bruns, Assistant Principal
