Monday, January 18, 2021 is MLK Day. This week our students will engage in lessons that are centered around the social justice work that Dr. Martin L. King Jr. led during his lifetime. MLK Day is a 'day on' for our KPS students as they will engage in learning activities focused on this great leader, in their ELA and Social Studies classes.

Last week, we offered day and evening times for collection of curriculum for students in grades: 1, 3, 4, and 5. If you were unable to collect your child's materials, you may stop by the office Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00-4:00 p.m.

Thank you for ensuring that your child is online and ready to learn daily. As a way to acknowledge your hard work, we are planning a Family Pizza Night next month on Friday, February 12th. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the date.

As always, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!

We are currently gearing up for Family February. Every February, we welcome loved ones of KKIT students to become honorary members of the orchestra! You don't have to have previously playing experience or an instrument at home to join. We will provide instruments and introductory lessons so you and your student can prepare together for a special virtual performance on March 4. The time commitment is 2 hours per week, including every Thursday from 4pm-5pm. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/aNckVMhfbGqugTtaA We will also be holding a virtual family board game night and picture scavenger hunts throughout the month for families.
