KIS Updates 10.9.20

Dear Parents,

Once again thank you to all of the KIS families, students, and staff for all your efforts to make the start of the 2020-2021 school a success.   It is hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching the end of the first quarter on Thursday, October 22nd.  Over the next several weeks there are many events taking place at KIS.  Please take a few moments to read the important information below about these upcoming events.
 Make-ups and Virtual Students Picture Day

*Student pictures taken in September are expected to be delivered to KIS early next week and will be sent home with students when they arrive.
 
Inter-State Studio will be at KIS on Thursday, October 22 to take pictures of any students that missed our original picture day, need a re-take, and to photograph our Virtual students.  Please use the link below to access the order form on-line.  If you are having your pictures re-taken please return the original pictures with your student on October 22.  Virtual students should use the link below to the sign up for a scheduled time using Sign-Up Genius (this sign-up is for Virtual students only).

Virtual Parent Teacher Conferences

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.  More information will be shared as we get closer to this event.
Sincerely,

Matt Watts, Principal
Kenston Intermediate School
