Good news!
Big Rock is working with Mrs. Hanson to allow for make-up days for Ski4Life during February break! The dates are not yet set as we're waiting for tournament placements and we'll update you as soon as we know. Something else to note--the price will increase slightly for THIS WEEK OF VACATION ONLY TO $25 instead of $15. STAY TUNED FOR DATES DURING FEBRUARY BREAK--WOOHOO!
Our hearts are aflutter! Mrs. McAvoy's class spent some time showing their love for KMHS--luckily, there was enough snow to make it happen! Thank you to all of the students for creating this artful scene!

Good afternoon! Now that we finally have enough snow to USE this season, we've noticed an uptick in snow sleds being ridden to school and would like to take the opportunity to remind everyone about the rules surrounding riding snow sleds to school:
1. Students who ride snow sleds to school must be 14 or older on a registered snow sled. See Maine State Statute: §13106-A, Section 12.
2. Students who ride snow sleds to school must use the attached form to register with the office, similar to other student-driven vehicles. Those forms can be found in the office or the attachment here:

3. For safety reasons, once students arrive on school grounds with their snow sleds, they are expected to remain on school grounds and enter the building.
Thank you for helping to make this a safe and fun snowsledding season!
Please read this important update on our district Strategic Plan! Your input is needed.

UPDATE:
Ski4Life is under the umbrella of extracurricular activities outside of clubs AT KMHS. Because of this, and considering the nature of Ski4Life while honoring the differences between team sports and the Ski4Life program, we're offering a modified extracurricular activity protocol for eligibility. The reasoning for "eligibility" protocols is to reward those students who abide by the Code of Conduct AND to ensure that we can keep all students safe during the activity.
1. Sign-up for Ski4Life is due by the end of the school day on Monday (s). The only exception is for region students who will be able to sign up on Tuesday.
2. All tickets will be purchased by the advisor at the mountain and all skiers will be issued a ticket upon verification of their name on the Ski4Life roster.
3. Students' office referrals will be evaluated each week and parents will be notified by Thursday if they are ineligible to participate in the program for that week only.
4. A bus will be provided for students eligible for the Ski4Life program, as has been done since the program's inception. Students whose parents wish them to ride separate from the bus will supply the office a permission slip before the bus leaves. This will help KMHS to keep track of the number of tickets needed at the discounted rate, ensure a check-in, check-out system to know who we need to ensure is on the bus, and generally account for student whereabouts to avoid safety issues (like accidentally leaving someone behind).
Thank you for your patience as we try to provide equitable opportunities for each of our students while maintaining safety.

Good morning. I am sorry for the bad news, but due to the temperatures on Big Rock mountain (6℉ Real feel/wind chill -20 according to Big Rock), Ski4Life is canceled this week. I have informed all students in-person with the same message. Though this is disappointing, we are looking at scheduling make-up days during February break complete with bussing and chaperones (please continue to volunteer for chaperone positions--it's a necessary part of student safety).
Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
