Signing off: It has been an absolute honor to serve the KISJ Middle School. Together the middle school has grown more cohesive, with a solid curricular foundation and a greater emphasis upon the whole child. I want to sincerely thank all faculty and staff for their numerous contributions to the program, to those who took on roles of leadership, others who assumed new teaching responsibilities (some for the first time), to those who devote countless hours to supporting learning outside the curricular program in clubs, activities, sports, and the arts. Your passion and enthusiasm for learning are truly felt and appreciated, even though our middle schoolers might not always show it. With gratitude and thanks - GO DRAGONS!
PGP: End of the year reflective conversations are now complete, final teacher evaluations are ready for your signature, please expect an email from the MS Office re: your final evaluation.
