KMS NEWSLETTER

Dear KMS Parents and Guardians,
We’re excited to announce that starting soon, KMS families will have the option to receive important school updates via text messages through SchoolMessenger! To comply with federal regulations, parents and guardians must opt-in to receive these texts.
Attached is a flyer with instructions on how to opt in. It’s quick and easy, and once you’ve opted in, you’ll receive timely updates about school events, emergencies, and more. Only those who opt in will receive text messages.
Important Dates:
- Opt-In Campaign Period: Now through March 1st
- After March 1st, we will activate the text messaging feature for all parents who have opted in.
New to the District?
If you're new to KIBSD, this flyer will also be available at our school offices and posted on the KIBSD website. We’re working on adding it to our enrollment forms for easy access.
Thank you for helping us stay connected!
Rena Rankin, Principal
Judith Bruns, Assistant Principal
