Learning Environment Change Request Period Begins January 4
A link to a change request form will be shared via Infinite Campus Jan. 4 and requests will be open through Jan. 10.
If you plan to make a change, please consider the impact a potential quarantine might have on your family in the coming quarter/term and select the correct environment. Due to staffing needs and configurations:
Changes at the elementary level will likely cause reassignment of your child’s teacher and class configuration, regardless of your family's decision. In addition, changes in either direction will not be honored after Jan. 10.
KM will not be able to honor changes at the middle and high school levels from distance learning to face-to-face learning after Jan. 10.
At the high school level, selecting distance learning may alter your student’s term three course selections.
The final opportunity to request a change will occur before the start of term four, which begins on March 30.
NOTE: This change request form is only necessary if you want to change your environment for the third quarter/term, which begins Jan. 26.
