A SUPER Year!! ~ Thank you, Mrs. Jones, staff and parents for the great pictures!
Summer!?
As it warms up outside, it feels like the end of the school year but without all of the activities that we so very much enjoy together. We have learned during this time that we are learners no matter where we are or what is going on; learning is not confined to a classroom. I know that while we are heading into Summer Break you will continue to learn from the world around you. Practice your skills of observation, being an active listener, ask questions that make you think, and spread kindness.
Mrs. Sterner will host an "All School Lunch Bunch" to celebrate our last day on Wednesday, June 10 from 12-12:30pm.

Attendance
Due to Covid 19, student attendance will not be on report cards for semester 2 this year. Your child's attendance can be found on the Infinite Campus Portal when it opens on Wednesday, June 10.
This year's Perfect and Exemplary Attendance Awards will be based on attendance prior to, and including, March 13. Certificates will be mailed to students. This will be our last year of this award as we recognize the importance of having healthy students at school and the challenges we will likely encounter in the coming year.

From The Health Room
Student items stored in the health room will be distributed back to you on May 18 and 19. If you need something prior to those dates, please contact Mrs. Pick or Mrs. Cowell.
We hope you and your families are staying safe during this outbreak of respiratory disease caused by COVID -19 across the world. It's important to remain supportive of each other, and realize that all individuals can minimize the chances of spreading coronavirus by washing hands often, staying home when sick, and covering any coughing or sneezing with a tissue. The CDC does recommend wearing a mask or face covering in a public setting as many people do not know they have the disease; the mask protects people from becoming exposed to COVID -19 as the virus can linger in the air longer than they originally thought.
Please remember that KM outdoor facilities as well as playgrounds are closed and not available for use during this time as an additional means of stopping the spread of the virus. Anyone who becomes sick with symptoms more severe than an ordinary cold is advised to seek medical care. Please know that our Health Services Webpage has information you may find helpful and that KM is here to support you!
Wishing you healthy days ahead as we are hopefully on the road to recovery in our communities. Please inform the Health Room staff via email if your child has been exposed to or have been tested for COVID-19 as we continue to track illnesses in our community. We are here to help.
Take care, and wash your hands!

Lunch For ALL Families
There have been some additional questions regarding KMSD Lunches - FREE lunches are available for ALL CHILDREN 18 and UNDER in a household.

Student KMSD Email Accounts
A reminder that student email accounts should be used for KMSD educational purposes only.
PLEASE NOTE THIS ALSO APPLIES TO EMAIL AND CHAT FEATURES. Students should only be in supervised Google Meets and should not be using the school network for anything but educational purposes. PLEASE check your child's "footprint" on their computers occasionally.
They should not be used to sign up for other social media or online activities such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Although most of our students are too young for the requirements of these platforms, it does happen. If you wish to sign your child up, you would need to create a different email account not associated with KMSD. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Misuse of the network or technology can lead to losing the priviledge of use.
