Parent & Pastries

Parents/Guardians

We hope that you have seen notices that our district, school, teachers and coaches are moving to a system called ParentSquare to communicate with you.

On May 10, all our teachers will be trained on the system. Some "early adopters" are using ParentSquare now, so they can help their colleagues.

For a brief time, we will have two systems in use to communicate with you.

Messages sent by ParentSquare will look a little different than those sent from our old system.

One of the most notable changes is a new text message code.

ParentSquare messages will be from "66458." Our old system uses code "60680." We will stop using our old system at the end of the school year.

With ParentSquare, parents will be able to set preferences for when (instant or end of day) and how (e-mail, text, app) you get communication from your children's teachers, their schools, and the district.

After our teachers are trained in May, we will send more information to parents about how you can use the system, too!

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we transition to the new system to better meet your needs!

Reminder that if a student needs to call a parent because they are sick or need to go home, they must come to the office and use the phone from there. Using their cell phone to make these calls is not allowed and violates our cell phone policy.

Please remind your students to charge their Chromebooks at night. We don't have many extra Chromebooks for students to use during the day.

We're seeing an increase in student discipline referrals to the office lately. This includes rough-housing, cell phone usage, disrespect toward students and staff members, tardies, and off task behaviors in class. Please remind your student of their academic and social responsibilities in school.

Non-school issued electronic devices and cell phones will not be allowed at any time during school hours from 7:15 a.m. until the dismissal bell at the end of the day at our middle schools.

Electronic devices will be expected to be turned off and placed in a backpack, cinch sack, bag, or similar item used for storing daily school supplies and equipment.

Use of any electronic device is prohibited in locker rooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms, or other locations that are private in nature. Any unauthorized or inappropriate use of electronic devices may result in the confiscation of the device. The student’s parent or guardian will be notified and can pick up the device in the front office. Continuous violations of this policy may result in a student losing the privilege of having their electronic device(s) at school. KMS/FMS is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged electronic devices brought to school.
