ATTENTION - RAIN GEAR AT SCHOOL

Outside time is valuable to both kids and teachers alike. That's why we practice sending kids outside no matter the weather - unless it is severe. For example, kids went outside for recess today. Because of this, you may find that your student is coming home a little wet.

If this is the case, we highly encourage you to get your child rain gear and keep it at school. An extra pair of dry socks kept in your student's backpack/cubby is also helpful. Please reach out to the office if you need help getting rain gear for your child.

Thanks for making rain gear a priority.

WALES AND EXPLORE COUNSELING CORNER

upstander

As we wrap up our bullying prevention unit, we are focused on being upstanders! Upstanders see or know bullying is happening and do something to help. Upstanders have a lot of power! They can help stop bullying or make the problem worse by joining in. We teach students to be upstanders and stand up for the person being bullied. Upstanders can also report to a caring adult or support and be kind and inclusive to the person being bullied.

Talk with your child about the importance of standing up against bullying, even if it takes a lot of courage. With your child, come up with at least one reason why it is important to speak up. Thank you for your support in helping all students on our campus learn that bullying is never acceptable, and we have a responsibility to get it to stop! 

WALES AND EXPLORE FAMILY DIRECTORIES

In accordance with our student handbook, families MUST OPT IN to school directories. If you would like your student's info to be available to other students for play dates, birthday invitations, etc, you must fill out the form below. Please fill out one form per child. 

If you would like access to the collected information, you must email your classroom teacher or Mrs. Schultz at schultzr@kmsd.edu and ask for the directory, as it cannot be published on any public sites. The spreadsheet you will receive is a live document and will be updated as parents fill out the form.

Once again, you MUST fill out this form for Wales or this form for Explore in order to be included in the directory.

After it is completed, email Mrs. Schultz or your classroom teacher to ask for a copy of the directory.

Thank you for your understanding in helping to keep our families' information as secure as possible.
