Battle of the Books
It's November and that means the start of battle season in the library. Battle of the Books that is! Battle of the Books is our library's annual reading competition that is a ton of fun and another great opportunity for you to read some fantastic books and share the experience with friends and classmates. You can sign up individually or form your own team of up to four students from your grade level. Visit the library or the library's Google Classroom for more information and sign-up information today. For those joining in the fun, Battle Books are also NOW available for checkout in the library and also on Sora.
Hey KMS...Do you have an interest in video production, podcasting, animation, photography, or graphic design? Then you should consider checking out the KMS Media Club.

If you have any questions about Media Club you can see Mr. Gaskell in the library or attend the first meeting next Wednesday to learn more.

As we head into playoff time for fall sports and get ready for the start of winter sports, we wanted to send out a reminder message to all students in grades K-8.
Each year, a letter concerning your child's safety while attending home events at Germantown High School is shared with you. Monitoring the behavior of K-8 students continues to be a priority for the Germantown School District. That being said, an adult must accompany all K-8 students who attend activities at Germantown High School. In addition, while at the event, the adult must actively supervise the K-8 student. All children attending home events will be required to be under the direct supervision of the adult chaperone who accompanied them to the event. Germantown School District is concerned about the safety and welfare of your child. Please help us by appropriately supervising your child. We look forward to seeing you and your child at Germantown High School events this school year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Go Warhawks!
AM Reminder - only the Gold Gym or the cafeteria in the morning. If you have food or drink, you must consume it in the cafeteria.
STUDENT CAFETERIA/RECESS RULES REMINDERS
Once seated, stay seated (no wandering around the cafeteria or standing by other tables)
When going out for recess, do not go in the road/driveway; you must remain on the sidewalk until you get to the grass.
CELL PHONE RULE REMINDER - Cell phones should be turned off and kept in your locker throughout the school day. In addition, you may not have your earbuds in the hallway. You will be asked to remove it and you may receive a consequence.
Lockers - Make sure to take all food or drink (water is ok) out of your locker every night to make sure that it doesn’t spoil and attract ants or other insects. Please keep your locker clean and organized. Follow the KMS Way!
WALKING - After school on Fridays, a lot of students walk to businesses in the area. Remember to show the KMS Way when you are in the community. Be safe, be responsible and be respectful. We are counting on you to represent us well. The law says stay off the roadway unless you’re in designated crosswalks, stay on the sidewalks, stay off private property (this includes Gehl company and neighboring residences) and remember your safety rules. Please be safe. Look both ways. Use common sense. Remember the KMS Way and we can all enjoy our evening!
ACT Word of the Day is ambiguous - having several potential meanings; unclear and difficult to understand. This agreement is very ambiguous and open to various interpretations.

Please prepare for the Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Here at KMS, the K also stands for KIND. So be kind to each other, keep your hands to yourself, listen to your teachers, and a warm welcome to all of our guests in the building.
Make it a great day, Crusaders. The choice is yours.
