NO SCHOOL MONDAY, JAN. 19 – MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
KVUSD schools will be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As we honor Dr. King’s legacy, we reflect on his teachings of love, compassion, and treating every person with fairness and respect. These are values we strive to instill in our students every day as we work toward a more just and equitable future for all.
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES & MINIMUM DAYS – JAN. 20-23
Parent-teacher conferences will be held Tuesday, Jan. 20, through Friday, Jan. 23, with a 12:30 pm dismissal all four days. Families recommended for a conference have been contacted and scheduled, but any parent who would like to schedule a meeting can call the office to do so. These conferences mark the end of the quarter, so keep an eye out for report cards coming home soon!
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR PRESENTATION – JAN. 22
On Thursday, Jan. 22, at 10:00 am, 8th-grade students will have the opportunity to hear from a Holocaust survivor via video call in the MUR building. This presentation is the culmination of their unit on The Diary of Anne Frank and Night, and students will be able to ask questions during the session. If you have questions or would like to discuss accommodations for your child, please contact the office.
BASKETBALL SEASON IS IN FULL SWING!
Check out our sports schedules to catch all our boys and girls basketball games. Grab a snack at the snack shack and show your support for our amazing student athletes!
HOLIDAY GIFTS REMINDER
We know students received some awesome gifts over the holidays. However, we don't want anything getting lost, broken, or causing distractions during the school day, so we ask that students keep those special treasures at home for after-school play. Thanks for your understanding!
ONLINE SAFETY WORKSHOP COMING SOON
On January 26th and 27th, all students will participate in a Polly Klaas Foundation presentation focused on social media safety and making smart choices online. This workshop gives students practical tools to navigate the digital world safely. We had a great district-wide session for parents recently, and now it's our students' turn to get this valuable information! If you have questions about the presentation or prefer your student not attend, please contact the office.
8TH GRADE HEALTH EDUCATION
Starting at the end of January, our 8th-grade students will begin a comprehensive health education course designed to give them important knowledge about wellness, decision-making, and healthy relationships. This information equips our students with the skills they need to navigate their teenage years safely and with the knowledge to make informed choices. If you have questions about the curriculum or prefer to handle these topics at home, please contact the office!
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s teacher or contact me at rkale@kvusd.org.
