Good Reminders:
- Dress for the weather! After lunch our student have the opportunity to go outside to shoot hoops, play soccer, football, basketball, to talk with friends, or just run around with friends. We will go outside rain or shine. Short of ice or a torrential downpour, we will go outside. Dress for the weather!
- School Attendance is not only required, but it is very important for the continued academic and social growth of our students. Thank you for making this a priority! If for some reason your child is sick, please email the School Attendance mailbox. If you are taking advantage of all that living in Europe has to offer, please email the School Attendance mailbox so that we can get you the required paperwork. Please, try and keep family trips to a minimum.
- Asking for your support in reminding our students that bus stops and bus rides are an extension of the school. We have high expectations for student behavior, and we appreciate our students who practice kindness and generosity no matter where they are! Misbehavior related to school transportation may result in loss of bus privileges!
Proud to be a KMS Knight,
