Hello KMMS Families,

Our October theme of, “It’s a great day to be a Laser when we treat each other well” kicked off this past week. A school and community that thrives, where all students feel respected, takes a collective effort from all students, school staff, and our families. In last week’s post, I wrote about what we will be discussing with our students.

Knowing that parents are a crucial part of the conversation, I wanted to share this resource with you from Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. This resource provides help on what to do if your child is being bullied, what to do if your child is behaving like a bully, and more. 

As always, we are here to partner with you. Please encourage your child to reach out to someone at school if they ever feel mistreated. Parents are also welcome to contact us directly with any questions or concerns. Our partnership is key to creating the best possible school environment for all students.

Have a great weekend,

Matt Kitzerow
Principal

Dear KMMS families,

Do you want to have a better idea of the middle school vibe? Are you interested in having the inside scoop on KMMS? Do you want to spend some time throughout the school year with other middle school parents? Please consider joining the KMMS Family Advisory Committee!

The purpose of this group is to provide input and feedback on a variety of issues around learning and life at KMMS.  We are entering "Year 5" and have many returning team members that mostly represent 7th and 8th grade. 

Please fill out this short Google Form if you are interested. 

Upcoming Family Advisory meetings:

• October 22nd from 5:00-7:00 PM

• November 19th from 5:00-7:00 PM

• January 7th from 5:00-7:00 PM

• February 23rd from 5:00-7:00 PM

• April 22nd from 5:00-7:00 PM

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for considering!

Please be sure that your student(s) exit(s) the vehicle on the passenger side when being dropped at the designated drop off spot each morning. Please do NOT allow your student to exit on the driver's side. The lane on the driver's side is close to the moving traffic in the pass through lane, and we want to keep students away from moving vehicles.

IMPORTANT: New traffic patterns. https://ms.kmsd.edu/o/kmms/page/traffic-patterns.
