Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families,

Believe it or not, there are only four weeks of the 2023-24 school year left. While it has been a great school year, we want to take a moment to ask our parents to keep conversations going with their students at home to help them finish this school year on a positive note. The end of the year can bring about some wacky behaviors from 700 middle school students. 

To promote order and understanding among students, we ask you to discuss:

  1. Treating others well.

  2. Being where you’re supposed to be, and in a timely fashion.

  3. Using class time well.

  4. Asking teachers for help when help is needed. 

  5. Continuing to follow school rules, like not using cellphones in school.

  6. Keeping hands and feet to oneself.

  7. Keeping roughhousing and playing at bay in hallways and at recess.

Spring and now almost summer is in the air. It is important that our students do not lose sight of their responsibilities and their impact on their fellow students and our staff!

Cheers to a wonderful last four weeks of school,

Matt Kitzerow
KMMS Principal

Message from Deputy Cattani

Dear KMMS Families,

As we maintain our commitment to the safety of our students, I would like to emphasize the importance of responsible driving within school zones. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in instances where parents are exceeding the posted speed limit on Ottawa Avenue, as well as disregarding the presence of pedestrians and driving through the crosswalk area while there are students/staff present in the road.

In the interest of safeguarding our students and preventing any potential citations for traffic violations, I strongly urge all parents to drive with increased caution and awareness while navigating this area. I would also like to encourage parents to use the designated area on the south side of the building for drop-off/pick-up and to please keep crosswalks reserved for students who are walking in the area.

Thank you for keeping our students safe,

Deputy Cattani

Drop Off & Pick up Reminders & Requests

Students - Whether you are walking home, getting picked up or riding your bike, ALWAYS cross at the marked crosswalk. This is where adults are stationed to help you cross Ottawa Ave safely.  Please remember to also use the sidewalk after you have crossed the street.

Drivers - Please be patient as we close out the school year and battle the congestion and increased traffic due to the Bridge work on Hwy 18.  We are all looking forward to this project being completed...hopefully before the end of the school year!

Please remind your student to use the crosswalk and sidewalks. Please be alert and watch for pedestrians and stop for people in crosswalks.

Thanks for working together to make our community safer.
