Greetings KCMS Families, We hope you’re all having a fun and wonderful summer! I can’t wait to hear about all the fun activities and adventures you had during your time off. Now that the school year is approaching we wanted to make sure you had some key dates on your calendar. Online Check-In opens Monday, August 7, 2017. At this time, you will complete both district and school information by visiting our website. Other Key Dates: · Class Schedules will be available August 14th on the Family Portal (previously called Parent Portal) · Meet & Greet is August 16th from 11:30am – 3:30pm. This is a great opportunity for your child to find their classrooms, bring school supplies, meet our staff, practice opening and decorating their locker. Come any time during that window. · First Day of School is Thursday, August 17th. 7th grade and 6th/7th/8th grade Gifted and Talented students will attend from 7:25am – 10:25am and 8th grade students will attend from 11:14am to 2:14pm. We ask that your child arrive 15 minutes before their start time. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer! Sincerely, Christie Hurt Principal

Beautiful day at Elitch Gardens!

What a wonderful concert last night by the choir, orchestra, and band students. Thank you to Columbine High School for letting us use their space. Very impressed with how much you have all developed as singers and musicians.

Students in Family and Consumer Studies class have been busy cooking...cupcake wars and making pizza for lunch. Hopefully they are showing what they made in the classroom at home. Yummy!

Today we had a group of 7th grade girls attend the GESTEM conference on the Auraria Campus. The workshop is designed to empower girls by introducing them to the exciting possibilities of STEM careers. Over 1000 girls were in attendance.

Congratulations to our STEM club for taking first place with their creation, the Crocodile Quest coaster, in the Elitch Gardens' Show Us Your Coaster contest!

Many 8th grade students participated in the annual 2017 KCMS Science Fair. From making tornado simulations to varying growing conditions, students participated in rigorous investigations driven by their passions and curiosities. We are proud of all our science fair participants. Through the guidance of Ms. Cassinis and Ms. Dargis, students were truly able to deepen their learning.

Tonight we inducted our newest members into the KCMS National Junior Honor Society. Congratulations to these students who exemplify knowledge, scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship, and character! Great job students!

Chick-fil-A Spirit Night tonight from 5-8pm on C-470 & Kipling. Don't forget to mention you're with KCMS. Thanks for your support!

Congratulations to Sophie Horan who won this semester's Bookmark Contest sponsored by our school library. Sophie was given a new set of art pencils to continue creating pieces of art.

Get your day started tomorrow at the Spartan Market. The students will be selling breakfast burritos for $3.00 along with other items.
