Message from the Assistant Principal

Well, Fall is officially here, and we have almost made it through our first full month of school.  Curriculum night was last Wednesday and we had a great turnout!  Thank you to all our community who showed up on a Wednesday evening after probably a long day to sit in classes and learn about Kenmore.  Dr Robertson and I enjoyed getting to chat with many parents between classes and sit in classes with them.  We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to walk through your student’s schedule and meet the adults who will be working with them this year.   

Dr. Robertson and I are working our way through all of our Social Studies classes discussing some important discipline reminders on being a member of a community, managing conflict, and how we work together to stay safe and have a welcoming campus where everyone feels like they belong.   We changed our format to be a little more interactive this year.  We have some scenarios for our students to discuss and vote on the correct answer.  I was impressed at our students' ability to discuss and come to agreement on the best answers for each of the scenarios.  Overall, Kenmore students know what they need to do.  Sometimes however, they do make mistakes and it is our job to re-teach our expectations and hold them accountable and help them learn and grow.   We also emphasized that if the students just follow our pillars of being respectful, responsible, safe and engaged they will not have to worry about getting into any sort of trouble while at school.  Our district Rights and Responsibilities booklet is posted on our website as well as on the district website if you ever have questions or need to refer to it.     

By this point, your student should be settled into their classes and have a routine for “doing school”.  Just a reminder that this might be a good time to check in with your student to make sure they are still fully stocked on school supplies, and have conversations about how your student is doing in their classes.  If you have concerns - try to coach your student to come up with a plan to address missing work or academic challenges.  If they are struggling to be able to do that, contact their teacher(s) and let them know you are concerned.  As Ms. Bettelyoun stated at Curriculum night, if it is one class - contact the teacher.  If it is multiple classes that might be a good time to reach out to their counselor.  Parents and teachers need to work with our students to support them and help them grow academically.  We are enjoying getting to work with your students every day.  Thank you for sharing them with us. 

Sincerely,

Jennifer Hernandez
Assistant Principal

Clubs

KMS Speech and Debate

Another debate season has arrived!  Students, if you hope to join our team this year, you MUST complete this simple SIGN-UP FORM before this Friday. Parents, please make sure your child has completed this to the best of their ability!

The details for ALL:

We meet on Fridays, starting Oct. 6th in Room 206 from 2:45-4pm. The after-school activity bus is available for bus riders. If your child plays a fall, winter, or spring sport, this is never an obstacle for debate as I actively communicate with coaches to balance the Friday after-school workload.

If your child likes debate and wants to compete with 2 other KMS students (a 3-person team), our first competition is on Saturday, November 18th at Seattle University. Save-the-date! More details coming soon.
Lastly, parents, we NEED judges. If you know a high school student who is need of community service hours and can come to Seattle University for our first competition or YOU want to judge, please let me know ASAP. It is incredibly easy and fun…but we NEED judges in order to compete. I actively recruit judges from ALL the NSD high schools but we always need more!

More info is on the way! Students, don’t forget to sign up on the official form (link above!).  Parents, send me any questions or concerns!  Let’s go DEBATE! Thank you for your support!

Computer/Coding/Video

Computer science students from UW Bothell will present unique lessons to club members that teach a variety of video game programming techniques using Scratch. Members are also free to work and get assistance on personal projects in their preferred programming language.  This is a great way to have fun, learn about programming, and show off your creations.
Computer Club will meet on Thursdays after school October 26 from 2:35 - 4:05 in room 437.  Watch for the sign up in October!  

Drama

The 1st Quarter KMS Drama Club will begin on Monday, October 9th, continuing 10.16, 10.23, and 10.30. If you like to act in plays or do improv this is a great opportunity to meet some friends. You may come all four days, or just one - whatever fits your schedule. Drama Club meets on the stage and activity busses are available. 
Sign up by clicking HERE.  For more information, please contact Mrs. Flahiff  @ jflahiff@nsd.org

Art

The purpose of the Art Club is to provide an opportunity for any interested Kenmore Middle school students to meet after school to work on special art projects and to share art experiences with their fellow students.  

 The goal of art club will be to:

  • Provide an opportunity for art students to further their art making experiences.
  • Allow students not currently enrolled in an art class to pursue art interests.
  • Provide service to the school and community.
  • Allow students a forum to share their creative endeavors with other students. 
  • There are no restrictions to attend Art Club, membership is voluntary, 

Art Club will meet for 6 weeks on Thursdays starting October 12, after school from 2:45- 4:00 in room 429. Students will have the opportunity to sign up for the Art Club again for 6 weeks, after a 2-week break.

Sports Information

INGLEMOOR BOYS SELECT BASKETBALL TRYOUTS - October - Please see the attached flyer for more information.

Attendance

Starting Monday, Oct. 2nd:  Lunch Duties will be assigned for unexcused tardies to school. Now that students have learned how to move about campus, we are beginning our procedure of assigning lunch duties for unexcused tardies to school. On time daily attendance and active participation in each class is a critical part of the learning process.

We know traffic is bad. Please plan ahead. Locust Way construction will continue through October. Please utilize school buses if your student has bus service. School buses are the ultimate carpool and reduce traffic congestion.  We are here to help. Please reach out if your student has extenuating circumstances preventing them from regular, on time attendance. We can provide bus information, connect your student to their counselor and help in a variety of other ways. We don’t want to start the day without your student.

Unexcused tardies to school (less than 15 minutes) will be assigned a lunch duty. Missing more than 15 minutes of school is considered an absence (arriving after 8:05am) and you will be assigned a 1.5 hour detention.

If your student has 3 unexcused tardies in a month, your student will be assigned a 1.5 hour detention.

To excuse a late arrival or a full day absence, you may either:

  • Call the 24-hour attendance hotline: (425) 408-6410

  • Email: KMSattendance@nsd.org

  • Send you with a written note that is dated and signed by your parent/guardian.

  • Have your parent/guardian walk into the office with you to excuse your tardy.

Remember, the first bell rings at 7:55am and students can be here as early as 7:40am.

Nurse News

COVID Refresher

COVID is still persistently hanging around and cases are still out there. The Washington State Department of Health has provided no new guidance for schools this Fall. We are following the last guidance posted in May of 2023. 

https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/820-229-SymptomExposureFlowchartK12SchoolsChildCare.pdf  

The following recommended guidance applies to all students, staff, and volunteers:

What if my child has symptoms?  

Students who have one or more symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, new loss of taste or smell, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, sore throat, congestion, or runny nose) are recommended to stay home and test for COVID-19. 

  • Home antigen tests are recommended. Individuals with one or more recent symptoms should have a negative COVID test , be fever free, AND have a significant improvement in symptoms prior to returning to school.  

If your child wakes up in the morning with a new symptom, do NOT send your child to school to see if your child will feel better at school. Students who come to school with new symptoms or develop symptoms at school are still going to be separated from non-ill students and sent home. 

Masks are still required in the school health room/nurse's office for anyone feeling ill with any COVID like illness symptoms at school while waiting for parent pick up. 

What if my child tests positive?  

A student or staff member who tests positive for COVID-19 is recommended to isolate regardless of vaccination status. The positive individual may return after 5 full days of isolation if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms have improved and they have had no fever for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications. Additionally, the recommendation is individuals should wear a mask when around others for days 6–10. 

We would appreciate reporting a positive test to the school nurse, Manuele Mayer, at mmayer@nsd.org. Please report the date of the positive test and the date of the onset of symptoms, if present. Day zero is the onset of symptoms and/or the date of positive test. Schools are still monitoring our immediate communities for outbreaks and this partnership with reporting helps nurses keep tabs on level of community spread in the school.    

What if my child is exposed to COVID?  

Individuals who are exposed to COVID should monitor for symptoms, test frequently, and wear a mask around others. For exposures in the same household with continuous exposures, it is recommended to test every 24-48 hours until 5 days after the last positive household member’s isolation has ended. Exposed individuals can continue coming to school as long as they are symptom free and remain COVID test negative.

Washington Healthy Youth Survey

Northshore School District will be participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) during the month of October 2023. The HYS is designed to gather information from students in Grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 on a variety of topics, including:

  • Physical activity and diet

  • Unintentional and intentional injury

  • Substance use

  • Sexual behaviors

  • Abuse

  • Student risk and protective factors

  • Access to school-based services

The survey is entirely voluntary, and students' answers are kept anonymous. The information collected is used by our schools, communities, and state agencies to plan programs that support the well-being of our youth and reduce their risks. Your child's participation can contribute to the development of initiatives aimed at improving their overall health and safety.

We understand that some topics covered in the survey may be sensitive, but please be assured that the data collected is intended solely for the purpose of improving the well-being of our students. We encourage open and honest conversations with your child about the importance of participating in this survey.

You may review examples of the survey items on the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey webpage https://www.askhys.net/Resources/SurveyQuestionnaires.

Message from the Principal

Hello Kenmore Colt Families and Friends,

I have been reflecting the last few days on how words matter. Words can build people up or tear them down. Our goal is for students to use words that help build up the community. Recently, we have had students try to get peers to say inappropriate comments. Feelings have been hurt and trust broken among students who otherwise would be friends. We have been having conversations as learning opportunities and facilitating restorative meetings. This would be a great opportunity for you to have similar conversations with your children at home about the power of words.

The following is a message from the Pop Keeney staff - Our fall sports season has kicked off, and we would like to remind parents and students about the standard rules that apply when attending ANY sporting event at Pop Keeney.   

  • All bags, purses & carry-in items may be subject to search.

  • No alcohol, tobacco, or drug products are allowed (this includes vape pens).

  • All Students must have photo ID (ie. School ID card or drivers license).

  • A paying adult must accompany any middle or elementary school student for the entirety of the event.

  • No backpacks allowed inside the stadium.

  • No sporting equipment allowed in spectator sections (this includes small toy soccer and footballs).

  • No Fighting, pushing, or running.

  • There are no re-entry privileges, once you leave the inside of the gated area you are not allowed to return without purchasing another ticket.

  • All students are subject to all school rules, regulations & discipline. 

  • Any situation that requires security and/ or police involvement will result in students or visitors being asked to leave the premises immediately.

Item #6 may be the most relevant one to our KMS community. 

Tonight is our Curriculum Night from 6:00 - 8:15. This is an opportunity for you to go through your student’s schedule and meet the teachers. Here are a few reminders: 

Before Curriculum night please make sure you can log into ParentVUE and view your student’s schedule OR have your student send you a picture of their schedule.  If you need help with ParentVUE click here.  

Walk if possible and avoid having to park. 

Plan to arrive a bit early to make sure you have time to park and walk to the gym.  

Parking - you can park on our campus, or over in the Lockwood parking lot.  There is a path from Lockwood to our campus. Follow the crowd.  If you park on our campus, please make sure to not block fire lanes.  If you are parking on the street, please be a good neighbor to the houses close to our school.  

We are looking forward to seeing you tonight.

Sincerely,
Joey Robertson
Principal

Bus Passes

BUS PASSES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL OCTOBER

The office cannot accept bus passes until mid October. NSD Transportation needs to assess an accurate rider count before they can accept bus passes. We will notify students and parents when we can start issuing bus passes.

Student Drop Off Information

Parents/guardians: please use the parent-drop off zone in the back when dropping off before school or picking up after school. Please follow the signs and pull all the way forward before allowing your student to exit your car. Also, be sure when exiting to the street, turn right out of the driveway, as it causes a long backup and endangers students using the cross walk.  Please do not use the bus drop off zone.  Thank you!!

Important Drop-off and Pick-up Reminders

Your child's safety is our highest priority. Please be aware that areas on campus are not open to students before and after school. Although staff may be on campus, this is their time to prepare for the day ahead. Student supervision is only provided once drop-off begins at 7:30 a.m. and until pick-up ends at 2:35 p.m. Keep in mind that playgrounds, common areas, and fields are often rented by childcare providers and/or sports teams before and after school, which benefits the community but may limit use during these times. 

We understand that emergencies happen. If you have a situation and your student will be picked up late, please contact the office to make special arrangements. We appreciate your support and partnership.

Music

CHOIR FALL FUNDRAISER 
This year the KMS Choral Music Boosters will be sponsoring a new fundraising event to help off-set some of the costs of the Choral program this year.  Please see the attached document for more info.

Library News

Welcome back to the KMS library! Our theme this year is “Where do you see yourself in our library?”. I am excited to roll this out as students come through for orientation this week and next. There are multiple thoughts behind this theme. First and foremost, I believe that there are books out there for every student, it is just a matter of finding the right ones. So where are those “just right” books in our library? Students need to learn to look for the books that interest them that are also at an accessible reading level. This takes some practice. 

There is more to our library than books. Students may also see themselves in our library playing a game at lunchtime, or meeting for chess club after school. Perhaps they are seeking a quiet place on campus, and know that there is a Quiet Zone in the library, just for students who wish to sit by themselves, away from the hustle and bustle. There are also resources in the library, everything from paper and pencils to knowledgable adults who can answer questions about the schedule for the day. The library really is the hub of the school!

Clubs

Clubs will be starting up in October.  Info will be sent out to students in their morning announcements and sign up sheets will be available in the office when clubs are about to begin.

KMS Speech and Debate club will start the 1st week of October.  More info to come!
 

Computer Club - Learn video game programming from UW students!

  • Computer science students from UW Bothell will present unique lessons to club members that teach a variety of video game programming techniques using Scratch.
  • Members are also free to work and get assistance on personal projects in their preferred programming language.  
  • This is a great way to have fun, learn about programming, and show off your creations.
  • Computer Club will meet on Thursdays after school from 2:35 - 4:05 in room 437.  Watch for the sign up for October!

Attendance

A Message from the Attendance Secretary Ms. Twitchell:

Welcome Kenmore families. Attendance in middle school is a bit different than in elementary school. You can find our attendance policies on the KMS website under Resources, then Report an Absence. 

Here are the policy highlights: 

Late arrivals – Students must sign in at the main office. All late arrivals need to be excused or your student will be assigned discipline. Lunch duty is assigned if they are less than 15 minutes late. Tardies over 15 minutes late are considered an absence and will result in a 2-hour after school detention. Discipline for late arrivals will begin in October.

To excuse a late arrival, you may either: 

 Call the attendance hotline, 425-408-6410. 

  • Send your student into the office with a note excusing their late arrival. 

  • Escort your student into the office. 

  • Email: kmsattendance@nsd.org.

Full day absences – WA State law requires that all absences from school be excused within 48 hours. If your student’s absence is not excused by the end of the day, you will receive a District robocall. If your student’s absence is unexcused after 24 hours, I will provide your student with an Attendance Verification Form. At this point, it becomes your student’s responsibility to clear their absence. Failure to return a signed Attendance Verification Form will result in a 2 hour after school detention for each unverified absence.

 To excuse a full day absence, you may either: 

  • Call the attendance hotline, 425-408-6410. 

  • Send your student into the office with a note excusing the absence. 

  • Email: kmsattendance@nsd.org

 Early Dismissals – Early dismissals require a parent/guardian signature. 

 To arrange an early dismissal, you may either: 

  • Have your student bring a signed note into the office the morning of the early dismissal. We pre-sign out your student and provide them with a pass to get out of class at the time indicated on the note.

  • Come into the office with ID and sign your student out. Please allow extra time for us to retrieve your student.

Nurse News

WATER BOTTLE TO SCHOOL

Hydration at school is very important, many headaches and stomach aches can be avoided with proper hydration! 

Please send your student to school with a water bottle!

COVID

Unfortunately, Covid is still circulating through our school (although much less than a year ago!).

  • The CDC recommendations have not changed, if your student tests positive, they need to stay home for 5 days and then wear a mask for another 5 days when they are back in school.

  • If your child shows signs of a cold, please test them for Covid before you send them to school. If they are negative, please test them again 48h later.

Thank you for keeping our school healthy!
