Too many absences – excused or unexcused – can keep you from feeling a sense of belonging and ultimately succeeding in school. Just two missed days per month can really knock you off track. Need help? We’re here for you. Reach out to your teacher, school counselor or principal to work on some solutions together. #ksdstudentsfirst

Attendance matters! By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of the three signs that a student may drop out of school. Missing 10 percent, or two days per month, can result in learning loss, missed athletic and social opportunities and disengagement with the school community.
Can you believe we are already on week 7 of school! It's time to hop on Skyward to check out grades. If you have any concerns about your student, please contact school counselor, Mrs. Heiser at staci.heiser@kelloggschools.org

Recently Mrs. Findley's science and art classes participated in the nationwide Rock Your School Day, with a Glow Day! The students started their class with a cup stacking STEM (science, technology, mathematics and engineering) challenge focused on collaboration and engineering. Then they moved onto completing rigorous puzzles reviewing the scientific method. In art, they used highlighters and neon paints to create growth mindset quotes to be read throughout the year. It was a great way to remind everyone learning can be interactive, exciting, and inspirational. We are excited to see what Kellogg Middle School comes up with next to help spark curiosity and continue to engage students in ways that leave lasting impressions!
Too many absences – excused or unexcused – can keep students from feeling a sense of belonging and ultimately succeeding in school.
Please help your child prioritize attendance this year. #ksdstudentsfirst
