NEW TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERN
Starting Monday 18 August, parents dropping off and picking up students at the front of the school should enter the parking lot from Fogg Street, as the Stewart Avenue entrance will be blocked off. Please remember, you cannot stop your car in the lane of traffic to wait for your student. If you do not see your student, please circle around or park in a parking space to avoid causing traffic backups.
Delivery of Gifts, Bouquets, and Third-Party Items
For safety, students are not permitted to receive any third-party deliveries of any kind. Neither students nor parents/guardians may order food to be delivered to the student(s) for lunch. KMS does not have the resources or ability to verify the safety of the delivery/or person delivering. Delivery of food, gifts, balloons, flowers, and other non-instructional items takes away from the school’s ability to focus on instruction. Parents/guardians needing to deliver a forgotten lunch or any other item (athletic shoes, dance shoes, costumes, or instruments) or academic work may check in at the front desk to make arrangements.
