The weather in Idaho can be unpredictable. If the weather requires us to cancel, delay or dismiss school early, information will be sent home to families via our communication system. In addition, this information is posted to our social media sites and the District website.

KMS Parents/Guardians- Students will no longer be using their phones for any reason in KMS and outdoor properties connected to the school district or the annex- this includes but not limited to : classrooms, hallways, bathrooms, gym, cafeteria, playground areas etc. This includes playing music, researching, playing games, family phone calls etc. Although we recognize this potentially could be an inconvenience for parents, parents are reminded that all communication with their student should be done via contact with the KMS office in the event that they need to make contact with their student(s)

Students are encouraged to leave their phones in a secured locker to prevent any temptation to use the phone during the school day. Teachers will be given the responsibility to either have phones be placed in an assigned location and/or another method at their discretion. 

Students will be allowed to use their phones until 7:50 am and after 3:20 pm in the building. This change in policy is designed to help improve the academic focus and positive behaviors during the school hours.

The above mentioned guidelines also include any digital communication listening devices- use of headphones, earbuds/pods etc.
