National Distracted Driving Awareness Month 4/19-23

National Donate Life Awareness Month 4/25-30

You may have heard that April is Autism Awareness Month… that is until now. As we know, words matter. The designation is moving from using “awareness” to “acceptance” this April to foster change and inclusivity for those affected by autism.

Autism is a complex, lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person’s social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum condition” that affects people differently and to varying degrees.

While there is currently no known single cause of autism, early diagnosis helps a person receive the support and services that they need, which can lead to a quality life filled with opportunity.

The prevalence of autism in the United States has risen from 1 in 125 children in 2010 to 1 in 59 in 2020.

Recognized ways to ignite change toward acceptance include improved support and opportunities in education, employment, accessible housing, affordable health care, and comprehensive long-term services. We will share more about that tomorrow!

Because acceptance is often one of the biggest barriers to finding and developing a strong support system, let’s commit to celebrating differences, and become more inclusive of individuals with autism!

This week we welcome Mr. B. Bestor!

Role: Mr. B. Bestor is a social studies teacher. He teaches Modern World History, Sociology, Economics, and Leadership. He is also our former Head Basketball Coach, and now coaches a lot of youth Basketball.

Favorite thing(s) to do outside of school: Mr. B. Bestor is a big bass fisherman, soon to be crappie fisherman. He also loves coaching youth sports, and yardwork.

Friendly advice: Be honest. Be honest with everyone. We all make mistakes. Be nice! It is amazing what will come back to you if you are nice. Lastly - don't let the phone rule you, especially with distracted driving. "That one text doesn't matter."

FUN facts: Mr. B. Bestor has 3 boys in KMSD. Mr. Bestor appeared at the 1 minute 37 second mark in the 1999 "One Shining Moment" March Madness NCAA Basketball Championship video!

Please make sure you are bringing your own masks to school, and wearing them properly!

Be sure to follow your classroom cleaning expectations to help us all stay as safe as possible!

Our bubblers are turned off, but the refill stations are still on. Remember to bring your reusable water bottles to stay hydrated!

Please remember to wear your student ID every day, and at all times while you are in school. It is very important that you use those IDs (examples: lunchroom, signing in and out, etc.) so we reduce any unnecessary contact.

Please stay 6 feet or more apart, and do NOT leave your Advisory to seek face-to-face help, instead, use google meet to work with your teachers.

Hold the delivered pickles, hold the lettuce, anything outside the school cafeteria or your home-prepared meal does upset us.

Parents/guardians and students are asked not to bring/deliver food or beverages from any outside commercially prepared eating establishments to school to be consumed by students during their regular mealtimes, or any school hours.

It is noted in the student handbook that food from area restaurants will not be accepted during the school day. In addition, in our August 14, 2020 campus welcome back letter, we mentioned “Special food deliveries will not be allowed during the school day. Special deliveries sent to the school will be sent back with the person delivering the food, and will not be accepted or delivered to the student. When a parent/guardian needs to drop off a delivery for a student, the parent/guardian must communicate that to the student. Students will not be called down to the office to pick up their delivery. They will be required to pick it up during passing time or during their lunch break. Students will be required to turn the product over to office staff for disposal upon entering the building and will then be sent to class.
