Kelly Mill Family,
We are down to just two more weeks of school and looking forward to finishing the year strong together!
As always, safety comes first, and we need your help with an important reminder regarding morning arrival procedures. All students arriving by car should go through the carline. Please do not park and walk your child into the building during morning arrival. Our School Resource Officer will be stationed by the flagpole to help direct families back to the carline, as this is a significant safety concern.
We also ask that students remain in the car until they are within the range of staff members supervising arrival. If you are in the curve of the parking lot, that is not a safe place for students to walk unsupervised. These procedures have always been in place, but we have seen an uptick in unsafe practices over the past few weeks.
We greatly appreciate your partnership and support with this very important matter. We can do better for these last 10 days!
Thank you for helping us keep all of our Colts safe.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone for upcoming field days and class parties! Remember to bring your ID and RSVP!
Be sure to take time to rest, recharge, and relax with those you love!
Love,
Mrs. Moity

We have truly enjoyed having you visit for lunch with your child throughout this school year. Due to end of year Milestone testing and end of year celebrations, we will no longer be able to accommodate lunch visits after April 24th for the remainder of the school year.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back for lunch visits next school year!
Attention all rising 4th and 5th grade students interested in robotics for the 26-27 school year at Kelly Mill: We will have two informational meetings for students on May 12th (Rising 5th Graders) and May 14th (Rising 4th Graders) from 2:20-3:15.

In an effort to minimize disruptions to learning, support campus safety, and ensure front office can operate efficiently we will only accept the following items:
*Lunches
*Water Bottles
*Eyeglasses
*Medications
Please make every effort to establish a routine at home for bringing these necessary items to school each morning. We will not interrupt the learning environment to take personal items to classrooms or call the classroom to send your child to the office to retrieve any items.
All drop off items listed below must be dropped off in the front office by 10:30 AM.
To ensure a safe and smooth dismissal, afternoon student check‑out will conclude at 1:30 PM. Check‑outs after this time cannot be accommodated due to dismissal preparations and limited time to communicate changes to teachers.
