KTMS: Welcome to 6th Grade!
Be Kenwood. Be Excellent!
6th Grade Is Just Around The Corner
The fourth quarter of the 2020-2021 school year is underway. In just a few months, your 5th grader will officially become a Kenwood Trail Middle School student!
This is an exciting transition for your child. The entire staff of KTMS is eager to welcome our new 6th graders and their families to our school.
We have scheduled some opportunities for you and our new students to become better acquainted with KTMS. We are eager to get to know your kids!
