Knights,
Students
have an early release Wednesday, February 4th. The KLMS faculty will be participating in
training off campus, please make sure students have arrangements for
afterschool. As a reminder, students
should leave campus by 3:45 unless they are with a teacher or staff member for
prearranged activities.
There is
a KLMS dance on Friday, February 6th for all grades. Please see the website for times and ticket
information. If you are interested in
helping at the dance, please volunteer by clicking here.
I read a
great article about the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual changes
that are occurring in ours students. A
copy of the article can be found
here, but below is a snapshot of some of the information. The biggest takeaway for me, as a middle
school parent and educator, is that we need to constantly help our students
become more independent by helping them achieve the autonomy they crave. I know many students are just developing
these skills, so our role is guiding them to find their own voice is
critical. It’s a learning process for
all of us, together (school and parent) we can help empower our students so
they may find their own potential.
Have a great day,
Dina Schaefer
