Afterschool Quality Survey - KMS Afterschool Program
Greetings, KMS Families.
Our afterschool program is made possible in part by a grant from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). As part of that grant, we are asking for your input about the afterschool program and the impacts it has made on your child and family. Please take a few short minutes to complete the survey and provide us feedback on how we can best serve your family and child.

Dustin Brooks and Jennifer Cobb of Kennett Bowling Lanes visited our 8th grade Ag Science class, where students are learning about food safety. They talked to the students about how to properly cook, chill, separate, and heat food so that it is safe to eat. Thank you to Kennett Bowling Lanes for giving our students real-world examples that support our learning objectives!

Message from the Superintendent
Good evening, families and community members,
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and we are excited to see everyone back on campus! Please note that school will be in session, and while road conditions have improved in most areas, our buses will not travel on roads that remain covered in ice. Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. We also ask everyone to use extreme caution when loading and unloading at each campus. Students, don’t forget to bring your Chromebook back to school with you!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We can’t wait to see our students tomorrow!
