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.
