Principal's Message: Look at all this stuff edition
Team KMS,
As of today, we are well on our way to meeting our goal of 100% of students re-registered for next year with approximately 50% complete. Remember, May 1 is your target date and all families (returning or not) need to complete re-registration. Having accurate contact information, emergency contacts, local and US mailing addresses, and much more are very important. No kidding, you would be surprised at how many families do not have a correct phone number for a sponsor/spouse/emergency contact. Follow the links on the KMS Official website for re-registration information, it only takes 10 minutes or less, and we stand ready to assist if you need help.
