Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families, 

We have five days of school left before spring break and the end of Term 3. The end of the term typically signals deadlines for larger projects and benchmarks. There will be a posted “snapshot” of students’ grades available on Infinite Campus on April 1st. The “snapshot” grade at the end of the term is just that, a snapshot. Students have the ability to raise their final grades until the end of Term 4, the end of the school year.

However, we feel it is very important that students work to meet deadlines and build good habits. These are important life lessons. If your student has missing work piling up, we encourage you to build a plan with them at home to get caught up and be in good standing at the end of Term 3 next Friday. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher(s). We are here to help!


Have a great weekend!

Mr. Kitzerow
KMMS Principal

Student Services Update - Quarter 3

Counselor's Corner Graphic

Greetings from the Student Services Department!  We’ve now completed our course registration for next school year.  Your child should have discussed their elective and alternate course requests with you.  If you have any questions about your child’s course choices, or you would like to request a change to their choices or their learning environment for middle school, please contact one of our school counselors.  Questions or concerns about your child’s high school schedule should be directed to the high school counseling team.  

In the final quarter of the school year, our counselors will wrap up their classroom lessons for the year, including lessons about alcohol and drug use prevention.  


Our 7th Graders will be participating in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey in March. The results of this survey supports our communities by providing schools and organizations with information such as trends in risky behaviors, which are used to improve health and safety programs. Please see the informational email that went out on February 27 or reach out to our Student Services team if you have any questions.

Here is the middle school team:

Mrs. Cowan - Counselor: 6th Grade and Create cowanc@kmsd.edu 

Mr. Korb - Counselor: 7th and 8th Grade Inspire korbstephen@kmsd.edu

Mrs. Beyerl - School Psychologist beyerla@kmsd.edu

Doctor notes

While we appreciate medical appointments to be scheduled outside of school hours, we understand that this isn't always possible.  Be sure to get a doctor's excuse at your student's appointment and have them bring the excuse to school.  Their absence will then be medically excused which will not affect their attendance record.

High School Charter Applications for the 25-26 school year are now available. Please contact the school directly with any school-specific questions.
