1. Good morning Cougs! Today is Wednesday, April 30th. We want to take a moment to reiterate some specific expectations as we head into the final two months of school. Please use the bathrooms for their intended purpose and take pride in our building. Please walk and use a level one volume when speaking in the hallways to create a safe and calming environment. Please show respect to staff, guest teachers, and peers to uphold the dignity of others and our school environment. Please publicly display your affection for others outside of school to cultivate a professional work environment. Remember, as we move into the final stretch and enjoy end-of-year festivities after SBA testing, participation isn't guaranteed. Expected behavior will be your ticket to participating in the festivities.
2. The People of Color Club held their first meeting last Thursday and will hold their second meeting tomorrow after school. Please consider joining the club and learning, growing, and building a culture of inclusion and belonging. All colors and cultures are welcome and encouraged to attend. To join the club, please pickup a registration form from the main office.
3. Our Track team will be heading off to Goodman Middle School for the first track meet of the season today. We appreciate all of the efforts by student athletes and coaches so far this year and are excited to see our athletes in action. Go Cougs!
4. Remember, you can sign up for the first-ever Peninsula Tidehawk Brain Brawl in your grade level Schoology page in the update section. The Tidehawk Brain Brawl is open to all grade levels and will be held on Saturday, May 10th from 8am - 1pm. Lunch will be provided, and medals and trophies awarded. You must have your own transportation to and from PHS.
5. Thank you for your iReady efforts yesterday and engaging in showing your academic achievement so far this year. Those who have not completed the assessment will have time in Cougar Academy as we continue through this week and next.
6. This is an early reminder that next week is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Start preparing to spoil your teachers and the KPMS staff and recognizing their efforts and hard work each and everyday! Kind words, notes, and tokens of appreciation go a long way to say thank you.
