No School Monday, October 4th

Thanks to those who were able to join us Thursday and Friday for conferences. Please reach out any time with questions or concerns that arise in the coming months. We are here to partner with you in your child's development and journey.
UPDATE: Potential Close Contact Notifications

As we previously shared with you, the District has changed its Covid-19 mitigation measures for the 2021-22 school year.  One significant change is that we are allowing students to move freely around the classrooms and from class to class.  Last year the seating for any given student was fixed throughout much of their day. As a result of this change, it is much more difficult to identify students for contact tracing purposes when there is a Covid-positive case in a classroom.  

As a result, the middle school has been sending email notifications to the family of each student in a class when a Covid-positive student has been identified. It is likely you will receive more notifications of potential close contact than you did last school year.

Please note the district is maintaining a Covid-19 dashboard on its website to provide additional information regarding Covid-positive cases at each school building.  We recommend referring to that website, as well as the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ website, for updated case counts. 

Please contact the district nurse, pickjennifer@kmsd.edu, or the middle school health room @ ms-healthroom@kmsd.edu with any questions related to this change.

Picture Retake Day

Picture retake day is Thursday, October 7th. The Empire photographers will be here from 10:30am until 12pm. Students will be called to have their photo taken if they missed the first picture day. If you would like your child re-photographed, please alert him/her to listen for an announcement asking them to report to the stage.
Ordering School Pictures

Parents of students who had their photos taken earlier this month will be receiving an email with order information within the next few days. If you do not receive an email from Empire Photography by the end of next week, please check your spam box or email Empire at customerservice@empirephotos.com
Hot Lunch @ KMMS

Parents, please take a look at your Infinite Campus food tab with your student(s). Though the federal government is providing nutrition-approved meals (with a fruit, vegetable and milk) for school age students, our cafeteria is seeing an uptick in students filling their trays with lots of extras that are not covered by the government funding. As long as there is money in your student's account, they will be allowed to purchase additional items. Student accounts will be charged for food and drink items that go beyond the qualified student meal each day. If you do not want your student to purchase items for which they will be charged, please contact Nutrition Services foodservice@kmsd.edu.
