Points of Pride 2024
Point of Pride: KMS Club Hour |
Description: KMS Club Hour takes place once a month of Fridays. Each teacher is responsible for sponsoring a club. During this hour, students move to different classrooms to participate in an an activity they are interested in or love to do. We have many clubs such as art, games, ROTC, dance/step, book club, soccer and more. |
Impact: Participation in clubs provides opportunities for students to develop leadership skills, improve their communication abilities, and enhance their time-management and organization skills. In addition, it allows the students to have social interactions with peers and teachers who have similar interests. |

Point of Pride: PBIS Versuz Winner |
Description: The overarching goal of the PBIS Versuz is to increase implementation in the District and foster school connectedness while strengthening our scholars' resilience and promoting positive behavior. Twenty six KMS students, along with teacher support from A. Brown and E. Lovett joined forces to create a rap video with dancing, spirit, adlibs, and original lyrics to promote positive behavior. Additionally, one of our very talented eighth grade students cut, combined, deleted, and completely edited our video to make it a fantastic production. We won the district PBIS Versuz challenge. |

Point of Pride: MOY Map Growth for Math~#1 in the District |
Description: KMS math department began the 2023-2024 school year rebuilding after having three vacancies in the 2022-2023 school year. We began the school year by creating a plan for our scholars and effectively monitoring the implementation in all our math classrooms. We monitored our data, held conferences, and used different strategies to promote growth and achievement. |
Impact: We were #1 in the district for growth on the MOY Map. During a Zoom, we shared with the students their achievements in math. They were very excited and motivated to continue to increase growth and achievement. They work hard daily during class and strive for success. |

Point of Pride: Something Out of the Blue Teacher Appreciation |

Impact: Teachers were overwhelmed with joy. They felt appreciated. |
