Congratulations to 8th grader, Naomi Trillo our KMS Kiwanis Student of the Month. Naomi's teachers described her as always hardworking, eager to participate, and is a leader in the classroom. Naomi is a good friend to everyone. She is always considerate and respectful. She volunteers to help put up my bulletin boards and does a fantastic job. She is a hard-working student, who is always prepared for class. She displays a positive attitude and is a great role model to her peers. Naomi is extremely positive and hardworking! She always has a smile on her face and brings such great energy to our math class! Congratulations once again Naomi! You earned this!

Thank you to Mrs. Camburako, student council, parent volunteers, and the KMS staff for putting on a great Halloween Dance. The students had an amazing time and none of it could have happened without the support and help from so many.

The idea for KAA came out of a series of discussions the Building Leadership Team had regarding our desire to help students who need a little assistance every so often, while also trying to hold students with high amounts of missing work accountable. Missing work can have such a profoundly negative impact on student learning and success within the classroom and we want to provide something that can help. We believe that this program is a tremendous opportunity for kids who need help getting back on track, while also supporting students that just need a bit of assistance every now and again. 

All KMS students are welcome at KAA. The academic team - including teachers, parents, and administrators - has the discretion to make this program mandatory for students with excessive missing work which negatively impacts student learning and success within the classroom. 

In many ways, KAA is homework help, tutoring, and general academic assistance for any KMS student in attendance. KMS students do not need to sign up for KAA. They simply need to show up with things they want to work on, sign in, and get the help they need. We are confident that this process will help these students find great success.

Location: KMS Library

Time: 7:30 - 8:30am

Day: Thursday during Delayed Start

Staff Facilitator: Mrs. Saluan

The lost and found area is no longer filling up but has exploded onto another table!!! Please remind your son or daughter to check the area in the lobby, if they are missing lunch boxes, water bottles, coats, shirts, hoodies, etc. If they are missing anything there is a good chance it is there. There is a lot of really nice stuff that needs to find its way back to it's owner.

The link provided will take you the Kirtland Middle School - Important Dates for the 23-24 school year. There are still a few things that need to be added at the end of the school year, but they will be updated in the next couple of days. My goal for the year is to be as transparent as possible to major events taking place down the road at the school. I will continue to add to the important date section of the newsletter for upcoming events, but if you are wanting to plan for things, please refer to this document.
