Magee's Got Talent - Virtual Edition
It takes courage to participate in the talent show, and takes just a touch more courage to do it virtually! Thank you to all of the participants who are sharing their talents with us! YOU rock!!
Apart Together
We hope to see you there!
Fifth Grade Drive Thru Send Off Celebration
And while we would love to have everyone there, we simply cannot and do it safely given our location and size. Please know we have thought about this A LOT!
Following guidelines and restrictions in place, June 3 will be reserved ONLY for fifth graders and their families IN CARS, and staff members offering congratulations, waves, and a few surprises.
Thank you for your understanding!
At Home Learning
Hang in there, try not to let up as we have a few weeks left. These weeks and interactions will continue to keep learning in the forefront of student's minds as well as keeping them connected to school! That being said, also enjoy the SUN! It makes a difference for all of us. Take frequent breaks, use a timer - we will do this, take a walk or play, and then come back and finish up what we were working on.
Please know that we are here for you. Reach out, call, email - whatever it looks like. We are here to help you! What we know is that we are continuing to find a balance, and that balance looks different in every home. Thank YOU for your continued support of not only your learners, but our staff as well!

From The Health Room
Student items stored in the health room will be distributed back to you on May 18 and 19. If you need something prior to those dates, please contact Mrs. Pick or Mrs. Cowell.
We hope you and your families are staying safe during this outbreak of respiratory disease caused by COVID -19 across the world. It's important to remain supportive of each other, and realize that all individuals can minimize the chances of spreading coronavirus by washing hands often, staying home when sick, and covering any coughing or sneezing with a tissue. The CDC does recommend wearing a mask or face covering in a public setting as many people do not know they have the disease; the mask protects people from becoming exposed to COVID -19 as the virus can linger in the air longer than they originally thought.
Please remember that KM outdoor facilities as well as playgrounds are closed and not available for use during this time as an additional means of stopping the spread of the virus. Anyone who becomes sick with symptoms more severe than an ordinary cold is advised to seek medical care. Please know that our Health Services Webpage has information you may find helpful and that KM is here to support you!
Wishing you healthy days ahead as we are hopefully on the road to recovery in our communities. Please inform the Health Room staff via email if your child has been exposed to or have been tested for COVID-19 as we continue to track illnesses in our community. We are here to help.
Take care, and wash your hands!

Lunch For ALL Families
There have been some additional questions regarding KMSD Lunches - FREE lunches are available for ALL CHILDREN 18 and UNDER in a household.
Thank you for your cooperation with this!
If you have questions, please email KMSD Director of Nutrition Services, Joe Claas at claasj@kmsd.edu.
Student KMSD Email Accounts
A reminder that student email accounts should be used for KMSD educational purposes only.
PLEASE NOTE THIS ALSO APPLIES TO EMAIL AND CHAT FEATURES. Students should only be in supervised Google Meets and should not be using the school network for anything but educational purposes. PLEASE check your child's "footprint" on their computers occasionally.
They should not be used to sign up for other social media or online activities such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Although most of our students are too young for the requirements of these platforms, it does happen. If you wish to sign your child up, you would need to create a different email account not associated with KMSD. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Misuse of the network or technology can lead to losing the priviledge of use.
