Dear Parents,
The upcoming week will be the last week of the first quarter of the 2020-2021 school year. KIS students have been doing a great job adapting to the changes that this school has brought. There are several important events coming in the next several weeks. Please review the information below.
Wear Pink in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Wednesday, October 21
All students and staff are encouraged to wear something pink on Wednesday, October 21, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a small way that we can show our support of those who have been impacted by Breast Cancer.

Prior to your scheduled conference your child’s teacher will share a Zoom meeting link with you to connect for your virtual conference.
Fall Classroom Party
Friday, October 30
KIS PTO has been working to provide KIS with a creative way to celebrate our Fall Classroom Parties. Although the Fall Party events will look different this school year we want to provide students a fun-filled experience. Students will be allowed to come to school in costume and wear their costume throughout the day as long as they follow the guidelines below:
-Costume will be kept on all day and teachers will not be able to assist with costumes
-Proper facial coverings must be worn throughout the day
-No gory or scary costumes
-No inflatable costumes
-Items such as wigs and wings can only be worn during the party
-No hand held props
-No weapons or toy weapons of any kind
KIS PTO is working with Kenston Food Service to provide students an individually packaged snack as part of the party. We appreciate all of the efforts of our PTO to help make this event special for our students. PTO will be sending home a flyer with additional information about the Fall Parties.
Sincerely,
Matt Watts, Principal
Kenston Intermediate School
