Principal's Message

Students, parents, families, and friends of KMS, happy Wednesday to you!

In just a few short weeks we will be heading into Thanksgiving celebrations in the households of our families. It’s a great time of year to pause, reflect, and to remember those things that we are thankful for. So, today will be installment #1 of “Jason’s 4 weeks of Thanks”. As such, I am inviting our entire community to join me on this journey to recognize the things, the people, etc. that we are thankful for. 

Today, I am thankful to stand next to, lead, and learn from 60+ para-educators, front office staff, support staff, substitute teachers, counselors, and educators. There is not a day that goes by that I am not impressed by the dedication, commitment to growth, and love that our staff gives to our community each day. I have had the opportunity to lead four schools in the States, in the KMC, and I can without hesitation say that KMS is a special place. So, today I am giving thanks for the blessings that Team KMS gives to our community. 

Let’s check in on what’s going on at KMS: 

• Friday, November 3^rd: don’t forget that we have Parent/Teacher conferences this week. 
  • 0800-1200: pre-scheduled conferences. Teachers will contact parents for these invitations.
