March
We are officially into the last trimester of the 2021-2022 school year!
Thank you for all of your support with student-led conferences. The students have been working hard on achieving their goals and preparing evidence of their growth and success. We would love to hear feedback on this practice that was implemented almost five years ago! A survey is linked below this letter- please take the time to complete it at your earliest convenience.
As we close out the year, our school leadership team has been discussing ways that we can rebuild our school community. Over the past two years, our school has been forced to operate in cohorts due to COVID. We have a unique opportunity being a PK-8 school to use our older students as mentors for the younger students. We look forward to returning to some of our annual celebrations such as Arbor Day, Field Day, and local field trips. We are also planning other activities that will give our students the opportunity to work with different grade levels in team building and cooperative exercises. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and the Friday Blast for updates!
Also linked below is a new page on our website! The "Curriculum & Instruction" page provides information on regional curriculum, as well as programs used at KCS. The resources linked on this page are great starting points for parents/guardians who are looking for more information on curriculum and instructional materials. The page will be updated often, so make sure to revisit! As always, the best resource for specific questions about your child's academics is their teacher. The live link to this page can be found on our KCS website under the "For Parents" tab.
As always, thank you for your continued support. Our school community gets stronger every day, our partnership with our families is an important piece of this!
Best,
Michelle Mott
