Good evening, KCMS Families,
It is KCMS Spirit Week! We're looking forward to students participating and showing their spirit!
We are also looking forward to our first dance this Friday! Costumes are allowed, but need to be school appropriate and faces must be visible.
Quarter 2 has begun! Encourage your student to do their best and ask for questions if they need any additional help. Thank you for your continued support and communication.
