This week in Advisory, we focused on welcoming students back and resetting expectations for the second half of the year. On Monday, students participated in a fun “Welcome Back” BINGO activity, giving them the opportunity to reconnect with peers and share highlights from winter break.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Advisory time was used to review schoolwide expectations and key procedures to help students start the semester focused and prepared. To wrap up the week, students created their own Goal BINGO cards on Friday, allowing them to identify both academic and personal goals they want to work toward moving forward. As students work toward their goals, they will track their progress by marking completed goals on their BINGO cards. Students who earn a BINGO will receive.

During Monday’s professional development, Mrs. Mathias, our AVID teacher, led staff through strategies for incorporating Cornell notes into daily instruction. Teachers practiced the process and created a student-friendly poster to display in their classrooms.

Several teachers have already begun implementing Cornell notes this week. In Earth Science, teachers guided students through taking notes on relative dating, followed by a video that allowed students to add and refine their notes. Students then used information from both sources to write a summary, reinforcing understanding and synthesis of content.

Get ready, Kave Nation! The KMS Boys Basketball teams are back for the first time this year with back-to-back games. 8th Grade defends our home court against Emmett MS on Wednesday, Jan 21st, and hits the road to take on Sage Valley MS on Thursday, Jan 22. B Games tip off at 4:15 PM with A games starting at 5:30. 7th Grade plays at Emmett (first), then is at home against Sage Valley on the 22nd. Let's show up loud and proud to support our athletes!

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

We have important dates coming up. Here is what we are looking forward to:

Looking forward to a great year ahead!

Anita Wilson, Principal
