KMS School Counseling News!

If your student lives in the Largo High School boundary or will be attending Largo High School for a special program, don't miss the upcoming open house!

Kenmoor Middle School grade level counselors will be going into every classroom to teach the students about personal safety beginning the week of February 18, 2025. To view the notification letter to parents & guardians, click here.

We would like to invite our families to celebrate our student success at the upcoming Honor Roll Assemblies!

Attention families, be on the lookout for a letter that will be coming home with all 8th grade students soon. Parents/Guardians will need to complete "Transitional Enrollent" through Synergy Parentvue for all current 8th grade students. This is imperative for a smooth transition to high school. If you have questions, please email our registrar, William Branch at william.branch@pgcps.org.

Consistent school attendance is very important for school success. When students miss a number of school days, they fall behind on their academics and loose social connection with peers. Students who miss 10% or more of school are considered chronically absent. Students who miss 20% of school or more are considered habitually truant. If your student is sick and misses school, please send them in with a note when they return to school. The note should be turned in to the main office. We accept hand written and doctors notes.
