1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Monday, September 15th. Please continue to walk right and talk right while speaking at a level 1 volume in the halls. Keep cell phones and wireless HEADPHONES and earbuds stored away and out of sight for the entirety of the school day. Remember that lockers are assigned to one student. Please do not share lockers, give out your locker combination, or leave your backpack in the hallways. It is your responsibility to manage your locker and materials. During lunch transitions, it is imperative to keep the volume level at 1 or below. Classes are in session and we don't want students in class distracted from learning. Let's continue to go out of our way to be inclusive, kind, and supportive all year long. Remember, words matter and character counts.
2. iReady Reading testing is coming up tomorrow. We will be operating on an alternate bell schedule with an extended Cougar Academy to provide enough time to complete the test. Please remember to bring your fully charged Chromebook and wired earbuds. Also, the iReady assessment provides valuable data that we use to determine schedules, support, and will also automatically create your IXL Study Plan that all students will be working on in Cougar Academy on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. Show us what you know and give it your best!
3. Open House is coming up tomorrow night, September 16th, from 6pm - 7:30pm. Please remind your parents that this is a great way to meet your teachers, learn about classroom curriculum and expectations, along with meeting support staff and learning about all things KPMS. Also, please write out your class schedule and make sure your parents have it with them so they know where to go for Open House.
4. KPMS Clubs will be starting up this week. You can get permission slips in the main office if you would like to participate in a club. Art club will begin Tomorrow, September 16th; Board Game Club will begin on Thursday, September 18th; Cooking Club starts on Wednesday, October 8th. We are awaiting a couple of other start dates and are still looking for advisors for some of our ASB Clubs from last year. Clubs are a great way to get connected and participate in your interests with your peers.
