KAMSC Newsletter

I hope everyone got a chance to meet with teachers this week and discuss all of the progress your students are making. I'm thankful for how invested our families are and the partnership we have between school and family. We hope that students focus on their well-being over spring break. We are excited to have an engaging spring with lots to celebrate this spring as our school year comes to a close.

Every year we ask that parents update us on whether your child intends to return to KAMSC next fall. This aides in us in finishing up our student schedule and prepare for class sizes. We understand that circumstances change, people move and students make decisions about high school opportunities available to them. Please let us know know if you intent to return for next fall by clicking the button below and filling out the form. We ask for 100% of families to fill this out so we have an accurate picture of our student body for fall.

On Friday, May 1st all KAMSC 9th, 10th, and 12th graders will head to WMU's College of Health and Human Services to attend a professional conference on topics in the area of public health. Students will have two keynote addresses and three breakout sessions to attend. Students will be provided lunch. We are looking for 10 parent volunteers to help deliver, set up, and clean up lunch for the conference. Volunteers would meet at KAMSC around 9:45 and then head to WMU and be there until approx. 1 pm. Please click the link below to volunteer to help.

The KAMSC parent organization would like to invite you to keep abreast of their meeting agendas/minutes and dates so that you can be as involved as you like. It would be great to get more underclassmen parents involved so that you can help lead as some of our families "graduate" out. Click this link to review meeting agendas/ minutes.

Learn about careers, skills, and sustainability at this dynamic event on April 22: Careers in a Changing Climate. Email rebecca.joyce@kamsc.org to register. Students can be dropped off at Sangren Hall at WMU at 8:00 AM and will be chaperoned by Mrs. Albee and Ms. Joyce (flyer attached).

If there are any KAMSC families that ever wish to use the food pantry on the third floor, you can simply contact Mrs. Allbee, and she will work with you to get you what you need. It is all anonymous and very simple.

I hope that you all have had a chance to review our KAMSC Handbook and sign the acceptance form through PowerSchool. Here is a direct link to it again. I would invite you to be sure that you have read through the MTSS support procedures. I will pull grades to review the 3.0 requirements and use that as a gauge to get more support for students. If your child is showing that need, Mrs. Allbee or I will email you and the child to set up support provided by KAMSC. This is required for a three week interval and then we pull grades again to review. Our hope is always that that three week interval is enough support but students will sometimes move in and out of support throughout a semester. Please know, that this is meant to be a supportive measure. We take our responsibility of helping your child achieve the high standards of KAMSC seriously.

If you are dropping off or picking up your student at KAMSC, please do so at the Vine Street entrance. Please find a safe place to pull over and then have you student proceed to the Vine street entrance. If students are driving themselves:

1. They need to acquire a parking pass from the KAMSC office - please fill this out

2. They need to park by the El Sol playground off of Dutton Street (but then walk to Vine street entrance)

3. They should be reminded to not keep anything valuable in their car and to keep their cars locked at all times.

4. The building will have a campus security officer at the Vine Street entrance during times of arrivals and dismissals.
