Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families,

We wish all our KM families a wonderful spring break filled with rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation away from the typical school week routine. Take this time to recharge - April approaches with state testing, our exciting Showcase of Learning, and the launch of the final term in what has been a truly exceptional school year.

Happy spring break!

Mr. Kitzerow

KMMS Showcase of Learning

Video Game Design and Film

Mrs Olson’s Video Game Design and Film class took on the challenge of using Unity to learn coding skills and create up to 5 different games. Unity is a professional game design platform used in the game design industry to design and code games. Students needed to learn C sharp coding language and application skills in the hierarchy related to physics, gravity, etc. Pictured is a group of students who took on this hefty challenge!

KMMS Spirit Days: Lots of Fun before Break

Elsa K earned second for her remarkable impromptu speech, which she created on the spot. Grace K also claimed second in the Storytelling category with her captivating speech, "Hic, Hic, Hic." Grey L earned third for her powerful Serious Solo speech, "Who Am I?" Congratulations to the entire team. We are incredibly proud of your courage, dedication, and accomplishments this year.

Student Services Update - Quarter 3

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.
