Manitou Springs Middle School
Friday, March 11th, 2022
Dear Families,
We had a great week of learning and fun at the middle school. Some highlights from the week include 6th graders from Ute Pass visiting our school, students beginning the next Second Step unit about Bullying and Harassment during Advisory, and 8th graders meeting with high school counselors for freshman class registration. The fun continues with spirit days and a school dance on Friday. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Cady
Principal

Using Kami with Canvas:
Some teachers utilize an extension for Canvas called Kami to have students complete and submit assignments. Kami is a digital learning tool where teachers can upload assignments and resources so that students can easily complete their work on their iPad/laptop and submit it in Canvas. Below is a tutorial for using Kami in Canvas. If you have any questions or issues, please contact our Media Tech, Kolt Woofter, at kwoofter@mssd14.org.
