Principal's Post

Hello KMMS Families,

We want to thank our parents who completed the School Perceptions survey earlier this spring. This survey data is really important to us. As a staff, we comb through the survey data and hold in-depth conversations to celebrate growth, identify concerns, and inform future practice. Here are a few highlights:

“There is a healthy culture at our school.” 
In spring 2023, 67.9% of KMMS parents responded positively. 
In spring 2024, 78.5% of KMMS parents responded positively.
This spring, 83.1% of KMMS parents responded positively. 

A healthy school culture is key to student success, boosting engagement and motivation by fostering a sense of belonging. It leads to better academic performance, attendance, and behavior while supporting students' social and emotional growth. Teachers also benefit from a supportive environment, which increases job satisfaction and retention. Additionally, a positive school culture encourages parent and community involvement, further enhancing student achievement. 

How likely would you be to recommend our school(s) to a friend or family member? 
In spring 2023, 77.6% of KMMS parents responded positively. 
In spring 2024, 87.1% of KMMS parents responded positively.
This spring, 94.4% of KMMS parents responded positively. 

We are proud of KMMS and the 2024-25 school year, and are very appreciative of our parents’ support!
