Spooky Fun!

 

1^st Quarter PBIS Celebration a big hit…

On Wednesday, October 31^st, the students attended a very spooky celebration in honor of safe, respectful, and responsible behavior.  The fun started at lunch where 7 children in each grade won raffle prizes for completing and submitting completed Cougar  Cards.  The prizes included CD players, gift cards to Beggars Pizza, and Halloween treats.  In the afternoon, the celebrations continued in the cafeteria with a PBIS Party.  Students competed in a school-wide costume contest, a fall mural painting contest, Bozo buckets, Gross Anatomy (a science activity), and a math guestimation activity.  There was also music and dancing, snacks, and teachers volunteered to take the students on a very spooky tour of Kerr Middle School.  Once again, KMS is dedicated to promoting positive behavior!

Parent-Teacher Conferences     November 8^th & 9^th

Conferences will be held on Nov. 8^th from 5-8 pm as well as Nov. 9^th during the regular school hours.  If you still do not have a scheduled conference time, contact Mrs. Hock if your child is in 6^th grade,  or Ms. Kikta if your child is in 7^th or 8^th grade.  

Sleep…     Is you child getting enough?

Studies show a direct relation between the amount of sleep children get and their ability to learn in school.  In addition, pre-teens, far from needing less sleep, actually needed as much or more sleep than they had gotten as children.  Nine hours of sleep is recommended.  Is your child sleeping enough? 

Coffee with the Principals   Meet the Principals & Share your Thoughts

 Come on in for coffee and rolls at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, November 6^th.  Meet with Mr. Gmazel and Ms. Vacca to share ideas and have your questions answered regarding Kerr Middle School.  We are still looking for more parents to get involved at KMS!
