Notes from the Principal
Dear KMIS Parents & Guardians,
It was great to see our parents in our building last week for parent-teacher conferences! We appreciate the support and involvement our community has in our school district. I would also like to thank our PTO and all the parents who helped provide dinner and snacks to our staff members during conferences.
Our first annual “KMIS Be Nice Fun(ds) Walk-A-Thon” was a great success. Even though the weather did not cooperate, I know our kids enjoyed the event. Thanks again to our PTO for putting this event together and serving the donuts and cider last Friday. We hope this will be a traditional event at KMIS in the upcoming years!
Everyday it is an honor to work with outstanding students, families, and staff. Thank you for your continued support!
Go Scots!
Steve Uyl

Wrestling for 6th graders will begin on Monday, January 10, 2022 from 3:00 - 4:30 PM in the North Upper Mat Room at Duncan Lake Middle School gym. If your 6th grader wishes to sign up for Wrestling, you will need to register them on FinalForms.
All student-athletes are required to be registered on our online athletic registration program. We are partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students online. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! You will review your information once per school year to verify the information is correct and sign the forms. Please take a moment and sign up for your athlete for the upcoming 2021-2022 Sports season. Using FinalForms is a one-stop-shop for the entire registration process. Please use the Middle School website. The Athlete Registration link that is provided on the Athletics Homepage and creates a new account under the "Parent Login" portion. On the Athletics homepage, you will also see a link for the "Parent Playbook" which gives you step by step instructions through the registration process. You do not need to pay the athletic fee until the season you are registering your athletic for begins. The registration link is: https://caledonia-mi.finalforms.com. Also, your athlete needs to have an Athletic physical form completed, signed and dated by the physician before he/she can participate in practices or competitions. This athletic physical needs to be dated on or after April 15, 2021.
There will be a shuttle bus to take wrestlers to DLMS. When you are picking up your child from practice please use the parent pick-up area off Kraft Avenue (on the west side of the school). Payment for athletics is not required until after the 1st Competition. You will be notified by Final Forms when payment is due.
