This Week at a Glance
Announcements & Reminders
For Current 7th Grade Families
We are gathering information for next year's school schedule. For 8th grade, each current 7th grader must
(1) choose a world language to study (French or Spanish); and
(2) choose whether or not they will participate in band and/or chorus.
A parent or guardian should fill out the student course request form with their child. Please fill out the form by Friday, May 5.
Math teachers are currently making course level recommendations for next year. After we compile the teacher recommendations for math and student course selections for world language and music, we will send an individual communication home to each family to confirm your student's courses for 8th grade. Please be aware that we will be using the email collected on the student course request Google form to confirm courses. We plan to send out 8th grade course confirmation emails by the end of May.
Additional Information:
The KPMS Program of Studies can be accessed through this link. Please see the Program of Studies for a description of all 8th grade courses.
If you have any questions about 8th grade course choices, please contact the KPMS Guidance Office at 508-541-7324.
The DEADLINE for course requests is Friday, May 5, 2023.

Progress Report Grades - Posted by Friday, May 5
This is a reminder that Progress Report Grades will be posted for students and parents/guardians to view on Infinite Campus by 5:00 PM on Friday, May 5. Remember that progress report grades are a snapshot of grades at the midpoint of the trimester.
