KMS NEWSLETTER

Dear KMS Families,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers, discuss their progress, and collaborate on strategies for their success.

As we approach the end of the marking period—only 10 school days away—it’s crucial to stay informed about your child’s academic journey. These conferences provide a platform to address any questions or concerns and to celebrate your child's achievements.

Conference Details:

• Dates: Wednesday and Thursday
• Time: 4:30 PM -7:30 PM
• Location: KMS teacher classrooms
• No appointment necessary!

Please mark your calendars, and we encourage you to take advantage of this chance to connect with our dedicated educators. Your involvement is vital in helping your child reach their fullest potential.

Sincerely,

Rena Rankin, Principal

Judith Bruns, Assistant Principal

Remember, what starts at the Book Fair stays with you forever.

Every purchase benefits our school.

Don't forget to set up your student's eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping.

Friends and family can even contribute funds!

If you are available for a couple hours any day of our Book Fair, we would really appreciate the extra help! Students will be able to shop during their recess times, and we expect it to be pretty busy.

Beginning on Monday, October 21, 2024, Lake Louise Bus Stops #2 and #3 will be closed due to road construction. Those students will need to use either the Lake Louise Stop #1 or the Lake Louise Point Retreat Stop. This closure will last for at least a week. Families may notice the roads being opened, but to maintain consistency, First Student will keep the closure for the full week.

Sixth grade science students conducted a gravity lab this week!

Here you will find events that will be happening in the next couple of months, but not during the coming week.

We want to give our families plenty of time to plan around our activities and opportunities.
