If you choose to take your child to the match, you must accompany them to the high school for the duration of the game.
Students without a parent or guardian will be asked to leave or transported back to KMMS. Mr. Larsen will be present during the match to ensure middle school students are properly supervised by their parent or guardian. Students not following school expectations will receive consequences.

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 9, from 3:30–6:30 PM. This is a valuable opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers, review their progress, and discuss ways we can work together to support their success. Strong partnerships between home and school make a meaningful difference in each student’s growth, and we encourage you to join us in this important conversation.
