Seniors will report next week for Mon - Thurs like normal and take exams in their classes. Thursday will be a wrap-up day and the "last lecture" after school by Mr. Sinclair

For our morning students it will be routine as normal next week with the following week wrapping up with exams on the 28th and 29th.

It's hard to believe we are down to just one or two weeks for our students. We have had a wonderful year together with ups and downs, and many laughs along the way. We are so proud of all of our students' hard work and perseverance, finish strong!

Most know that five of our students qualified through either the regional or state events in Michigan to attend the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) being held this year in Arizona. Ms. Joyce accompanied them on the trip and they are due home late tonight. We have heard from Ms. Joyce some wonderful awards an accolades have come their way.

Yuvan Muppireddy was awarded a $20,000 scholarship from the office of Naval Research on behalf of the Navy and Marine Corps.

Anya Goel, Janelle Yao and Claire Tong won the second place Grand Award in Plant Sciences.

Congratulations to all five students who were able to compete in the event.

There are always extra safety precautions in place at all KPS graduations including the KAMSC senior ceremony. We will use metal detectors to ensure the safety of all guests upon entering the building, and bags may be inspected. Flowers, balloons, food, and drinks are not allowed in the auditorium.

Please DO NOT bring large tote style bags or purses or security will likely ask you to take it back to your car. Guests, please use the Westnedge doors only.

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.

The KAMSC Parent Organization is looking for a student to donate their time and talents by designing a post card that the parent org will mail home to families for their annual donation campaign. If you are interested in designing this please reach out to Mr. Steve Glista, parent org president at steve.glista@gmail.com

The parent org is looking to fill the following board seats in the fall. They ask that you please consider serving. If you are interested, please contact president, Steve Glista at steve.glista@gmail.com

Roles to be filled are:

Secretary

Treasurer

Senior Activities Co-coordinator (we have one but 1-2 more is helpful)

If you have a student in 1st-8th grade or know someone who does, encourage them to sign up for some summer camp fun! It's going to be a summer packed with exploration, experiments, and excitement? KAMSC’s Sizzlin' Summer program offers hands-on STEM classes and day camps for students in grades K–8—and it’s anything but boring!

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.
