Welcome to 2022-2023!
A message from Mrs. Smith
Can you believe we've been in school for a week already! It's been an incredible week too!
Please join us at Curriculum Night and plan on staying for an AMAZING speaker who will be talking with us about our children's temperaments. I can tell you that it has changed how I speak to my daughters, as well as my husband. Knowing their temperament has been a game changer for me as a parent. We hope to see you there!
Thank you for your partnership!
Mrs. Smith

What to do if...
I need to report my child's absence:
- Please fill out the form on the Attendance form on the KME Website to report your child’s absence Absence Form
- You may submit your child’s medical note kmeattendance@forsythk12org.onmicrosoft.com within 5 school days for the absence to be considered excused.
I need to change my child's end of day transportation:
- All transportation changes must be submitted by 12:00pm. Please use this link to make your change Transportation Changes
- Changes will not be accepted after 12:00pm. Changes are for the effective date only. They are not permanent changes in transportation.
I need to drop off items for my child:
- We know that students may occasionally forget items essential to the instructional day (such as glasses, technology, and lunch) at home, and a parent must drop them off at school. We ask that you consider if the item is essential for school or if it could be a learning opportunity for your child. If you drop off an item, we will do our best to get it to your child’s class, but we cannot guarantee the delivery.
I need to check-in my child to school:
- Parents must sign their child in upon late arrival.
- The school day begins at 7:40AM. Students are expected to be in their classroom ready to receive instruction at that time.
I need to check-out my child from school:
- If it is necessary for a student to check out before dismissal, the latest a student can check out is 1:45pm. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up before this time.
Carpool Etiquette
For the safety of all our Colts and staff, please follow these simple reminders when dropping off your child in the morning or picking up your child in the afternoon.
- Students should enter and exit the car on the passenger side only (morning and afternoon).
- Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot to walk by themselves to the building (morning).
- Please do not let students out of the vehicle before 7:10am and/or drive off (morning).
- If you need to help buckle your child, please pull down to a designated safe area, place your vehicle in Park, and turn on your hazard flashers before exiting your vehicle (afternoon).
- Please pull down the line as directed by staff to minimize space between vehicles. This will help move the car line more quickly and efficiently (morning and afternoon).
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we begin a new school year. Our priority is always the safety of our students, staff and families of Kelly Mill.
