KMS WEEKLY UPDATE

This Tuesday, we are excited to host a Student Pep Rally in the afternoon to honor our various Fall sports teams. To accommodate this event, we will be following a modified schedule for the day.

We hope that this exciting and enjoyable way to conclude the week will set a positive tone for the upcoming holiday weekend. We are grateful for our wonderful KMS community and encourage everyone to take this opportunity to spend quality time together.

ATTENDANCE LINE:

Please use this option to let us know that your child is going to be absent, late, or if you're picking them up early. This is OPTION 1 when calling the school at 907-486-7460.

We check the voicemails every hour.

CHECKING STUDENTS OUT:

Please call in the morning to let us know that you will be checking your student out early. Press the attendance line (OPTION 1) to leave a message. A pass will be given to your student so they can be ready when you arrive. You will come to the front entrance, ring the bell, and sign them out in the office.

DROPPING OFF LUNCH/ITEMS TO STUDENTS:

Please be sure to drop off lunch to students PRIOR to their lunch time.

When dropping off any items to students, please do so BEFORE the class they need it, and we will call them to the front office during passing period.

This is where we will have a quick reference for the upcoming week. More info is usually listed lower in the newsletter, if needed.

Hey, hey, hey!

It's your student government here, working hard to make your school days amazing!

Get ready to feel the school spirit because we're wrapping up before Thanksgiving break with a bang!

We've got an epic pep rally planned to celebrate our fall athletes and keep the energy high.

But wait, there's more!

Bring an extra dollar to school because we've got a sweet treat to sell - ice cream sandwiches!

Yum, yum, yum!

We hope you love our plans and if you've got any cool ideas for us, we'd love to hear them!

-Your 2023-24 student government

Please make sure your student has a reusable water bottle to bring to school each day.

Thank you!

During the course of the school day, teachers and staff like to recognize students who are caught exhibiting the KMS values of Respect, Integrity, Citizenship, and Kindness. We do this by giving out Grizzly Tickets. Every Grizzly Ticket goes into a bucket and from that bucket, we draw two winners per grade. The winners get to sit on the stage with up to 7 of their friends for the rest of the week!
