Hello KMMS Families,
We are exactly 50% through the 2025-26 school year! Please check in with your child(ren) on any elective changes they will begin next Tuesday, the first day of our second semester. In our most recent Principal House Talks, Ms. Lloyd and I challenged our students to:
Develop partnerships with your teachers and fellow students that help you and everyone around you get the best education this second half of the school year. Reflect on how you currently demonstrate integrity. Where do you want to improve? Hold yourself accountable to high standards of work, not just “getting it done.” Give yourself grace when you don’t show grit. Learn. Keep persisting.
Partnerships, integrity, accountability, and grit are KM values that make KMMS a great place to be. We appreciate the partnerships with our parents/guardians to help foster these values. We’re going to have a great second half of the school year,
Matt Kitzerow
