This Week at a Glance
A Message from Principal Kreuzer
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students:
KPMS will begin administering state testing this week, and I want to take this opportunity to share some important information with you. Our students have been working hard this year and are prepared for these assessments. We are confident that they will perform their best on the MCAS.
Parents and guardians play a vital role in the preparation for the MCAS. Please encourage your child to get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive to school on time. These are all important factors that can contribute to success.
It is also important to remember that state testing is just one measure of a student's academic progress. We value the individual strengths and abilities of each of our students and recognize that success can be achieved in many different ways. KPMS is committed to providing a well-rounded education that supports the whole child, and we appreciate your partnership in this effort.
Thank you for your continued support of our school. If you have any questions or concerns about state testing, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Sincerely,
Ms. Kreuzer
Principal
