DEPUTY CATTANI, KMMS SRO, DISCUSSES INTERNET SAFETY WITH CUSHING 4TH AND 5TH GRADERS!!! She shared valuable insights with our students and staff to protect them as they utilize online media and communications. Her experience as a student resource officer and background in law enforcement was extremely beneficial in helping students better understand the potential risks of these platforms. "I emphasized the importance of online safety, responsible device use, and the significance of open communication between students, guardians, and staff members. The students were highly receptive to the lesson, very interactive, and asked some great questions. This lesson taught principles that are important to reinforce at home to further support a safe and positive online environment," said Deputy Cattani.

SHARED LEARNING AMONG KMSD SCHOOLS!!! Some of our most rewarding experiences at KM come from schools working together in mutually beneficial ways that enhance their shared learning. This is a great example! Mr. Bruening's shop students built shut box games for young learners at Cushing. They practiced their skills in measuring, cutting, planing, sanding, die cutting, and assembling the final products. Cushing students will get the benefit of using the boxes to improve their math fluency through game play. "The kids making the shutboxes deserve all of the credit! (They) did a beautiful job on them! They are much better quality than the original prototype I sent," wrote Ms. Mokros.

KMSD'S MUSIC PROGRAM IS MULTI-FACETED!!! The robust music curriculum in KM goes far beyond concerts and performances. A well-balanced music education requires students to undertake major academic work including deciphering a rich content-specific vocabulary, decoding music notation with fluency, speed, and accuracy, and analysis and application of expressive intent and contextual connections. In addition to the academic and performative skills that students develop through music participation, our KM students also apply their musical talents to serve the local KM community, in alignment with the Graduate Profile. Here you see middle school orchestra students undertaking a process known as 'score study'. After analyzing a piece of music as a group, students make determinations about whether the piece is appropriate for their ensemble. Students love to choose the music they study and perform!

Congratulations to our first Star Slip winners of the 2023-24 school year. These students have already shown what it takes to "Be Safe, Be Kind, and to Do Your Job".
Good morning and we hope you are enjoying the first week of school! We've made a few changes to our website over the summer that we'd like to share with you. Our new platform combines all of our communication tools into one environment, saving us time and money; making us more efficient; but also, allowing us to utilize a system that works well on mobile devices and provides the features users have come to expect. We realize change takes time, and we'd like to offer a few simple tips to help our KM Community navigate the new site.
We have provided a video tour, at https://vimeo.com/859950194?sh. Remember to re-bookmark your frequently visited pages and add us to your contacts! There is also a mobile app that can be downloaded using the page footer or the links below.
For a quick summary of the navigation, there are two primary drop down menus in the upper right corner of every page. They are "schools" and "menu." Schools will allow you to select a location. Menu will allow you to select information that pertains to that location. The + symbols in the menu reveal additional pages in that category.
If you have questions or are having trouble finding things, feel free to contact me at ottosara@kmsd.edu

The first day of school is always a very big day at the elementary level. This year, district office leadership took a field trip to visit with teachers and students. Our K-5 students were buzzing with excitement and it was wonderful to watch them enjoying all of fun things our teachers had planned.
Cushing held their playground grand opening tonight, with well over 150 people in attendance. This accessible and adventurous playground was designed with student input and was only made possible through the hard work of Cushing Staff, PTO, parents, and of course our KMSD maintenance crew who spent many long days this summer installing the equipment and preparing the area. We are so proud of what has been accomplished and want to thank our KM Community for their donations and support as we developed this incredible project!
