Hello KMMS families,
End of the year excitement is in full force. We have had a great school year and for a lack of better words, we want to have a great finish. All of this depends on our staff, students, and parents working together. Our monthly themes throughout the school year have emphasized safety, readiness to learn, accountability, and proper treatment of one another. We’re resharing this slideshow we sent to families on Wednesday, that was part of a Thursday announcement to students. Parent/guardian conversations that emphasize following through with coursework, using safe words and actions, owning mistakes and learning from them, and treating others well will make a great impact.
The slideshow also includes a recent TikTok trend of students putting metal conductors (pins, paper clips, pencil lead) into the USB port of Chromebooks, heating up the lithium battery, and causing smoke, sparks, or even a potential fire. We can’t emphasize enough the safety concerns that this would cause, and that our students’ curiosity cannot get the best of them. Someone could get hurt! We’re still waiting for a TikTok trend that influences students to regularly check the school Lost & Found (we have a ton of stuff that students need to claim before year’s end!).
Thank you for continuing to partner with us to finish the school year strong!
Have a great weekend and happy Mother’s Day to those celebrating,
Matt Kitzerow
