Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families, 

“It's a great day to be a Laser, when we’re ready to learn!” is our January theme. We’re taking time to hit on similar topics from September, like focusing on attendance and punctuality and being an active participant in their learning with teachers and peers. In addition, Ms. Lloyd and I introduced the 2nd Annual KMMS Showcase of Learning which will take place later this spring.

We have one week left of the first semester. Our 6th graders have finished half of their first year of middle school. Our 7th graders are halfway done with middle school. Our 8th graders have one semester left before high school. The days are going fast and it is super important our students are here and ready to learn. Thank you for all of your support as parents/guardians to get them to this point. We have a great last semester planned for the 2024-25 school year!

Have a great weekend,

Matt Kitzerow
KMMS Principal

Traffic Pattern Reminder

This is a reminder of our traffic pattern that includes the designated locations for dropping off and picking up students during the arrival and dismissal times.  We are asking for your cooperation in following this to avoid students mingling in with the bus traffic patterns.  

Thank you for your help and adherence to this.

Stop

There is a stop sign outside the front entrance of our middle school. The sign is intended to secure safe crossing for student, parent and staff pedestrians. Please be sure to stop at the crossing before proceeding through the parking lot. Thank you!

Cold Weather: Recess & Fire Drills

We have come to the frigid time of the year. At KMMS we like to provide students with an opportunity to get outside for recess after eating lunch. More students have been opting to use one of the gyms or to play table games during recess lately due to the cold. However there are many students who enjoy being outdoors. If your student enjoys getting outside, please be sure to remind them that winter coats, hats and gloves/mittens are required to insure their safety and comfort in the cold weather. Students should also have winter gear available for fire drills.

GALS Programming for Students of Divorce & Separation

Do you know anyone who is going through a separation or divorce who has kids? This one-session group helps kids develop essential skills to cope and heal. Through engaging activities and discussions, they will learn to express their emotions, build resilience, and realize they are not alone. Our supportive counselors create a space for them to gain confidence and connect with peers facing similar challenges.

Gals Institute,LLC believes prevention is key to prevent future issues and increase resiliency for youth. For more information on this group, go here:

KMMS Lunch Purchases

Our lunch room staff and supervisors have noticed an uptick in students purchasing extra items (drinks, snacks and ice cream) from the cafeteria and handing items over to other students in the lunchroom. Please check your student's lunch account and have a discussion with them, if you notice these types of purchases happening frequently.
