Dear KMS Families,


It's finally here - our last week of school.


If you haven't re-enrolled your student for next year yet, please do so as soon as possible. And if your family is planning to leave the district, please call the office to get a check-out form.


We will have a modified bell schedule all week. Students who are not on a field trip or field day will follow a Monday/Friday schedule each day, and Wednesday will still be early release.


Tomorrow we kick off the week with our annual KMS Multicultural Festival! We will start with live performances in the auditorium and spend the day celebrating our community through multicultural learning activities in classrooms.


Each grade level has multiple activities this week, so be sure to check the weekly planner below to see what to expect each day.


Friday, we will have 6th and 7th grade Award Ceremonies, report cards will go home, and that evening will be the 8th grade Ceremony and Class Night.


We also want to remind you about our Parent Forum on Thursday, June 4th from 6:00 to 7:00 PM in the KMS Library. This is your time to share what is going well and where you think we can keep improving. We will just be listening. Food and drinks provided.


In Partnership,


Judith Bruns, Principal

Pamela Gray, Assistant Principal
