A message from the KPMS School Council:
KPMS wants to hear about your experience with your child's education. We invite all parents, guardians and caretakers to complete two surveys for our school: (1) School Climate Survey; and the (2) Feedback and Input Survey. Survey results will be used to inform our school improvement plan for 2023-2024. You can take the surveys online by using the links listed below. All of your responses are anonymous and each survey takes approximately 10 minutes.
Please submit your responses by this Friday -- February 17, 2023. Thank you!
