After-School Playground Reminder
We love seeing our families enjoy the playground after school! Students are welcome to use the equipment; however, they must be supervised by an adult. Please refer to KMC supervisory matrix
To help us keep everyone safe and protect our school, please remind students to keep rocks on the ground and not throw them toward school windows. 
Additionally, if a ball or other item lands on top of a building, students should not attempt to climb onto the roof to retrieve it. Climbing on buildings is unsafe.
