Have a great weekend! Go Kavemen!

Student attendance is important for success in school. Students should try to be present as much as they can. If your child needs to miss school because they are sick or due to a family issue, please let the school know as soon as you can. You can excuse your child in these ways:

If you get a notification from Parent Square that your child is absent, you can reply to that message to excuse them.

Kuna Middle School will check grades for all students every Friday during Advisory. Parents will receive an email with their child's grades every Friday evening. We encourage you to spend a few moments each weekend reviewing your child's academic progress with them.

Keeping an eye on your child's grades is an important way to stay updated on how they are doing and to find any areas where they may need extra help. By checking in weekly, you can help them stay on track to meet their learning goals.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child's grades, please reach out to their teachers. The best way to contact teachers is through ParentSquare direct message.

We are here to work together and provide the support your student needs to succeed.

Get ready for an exciting week of sports! On September 3rd, come out to watch our football and volleyball teams in action, and don’t miss the Cross Country meet on September 4th. Let’s cheer for our teams and show our school spirit!

To keep our students safe during busy pick-up and drop-off times, please follow these guidelines:

By following these safety rules, we can help keep our school community safe. Thank you for your cooperation in protecting our young Kavemen!

Beginning in 6th grade, students are not allowed to “charge” meals (eat now and pay later). Please ensure your child has funds available for school meals. Students without funds will not be provided a meal. 

Families can pay for meals in two ways:

💻 Online Payment System (LINQ Connect)

Families are encouraged to set up a free online account through LINQ Connect. With this system, you can:

Add money to your child(ren)’s accounts

Set up low-balance alerts

Monitor your child(ren)’s spending

View school menus

👉 More information on creating a LINQ Connect account is available on our website.

Need help? Please call our Child Nutrition Team at (208) 922-1101.

📝 Other Payment Options

If you prefer not to use the online system, you may:

Send a check (payable to Kuna School District CNP). Please include your child’s full name on the check.

Send cash in a sealed envelope with your child’s name on it.

⚠️ Please note: Schools cannot accept debit cards.

🍎 Free & Reduced-Price Meals

Families are encouraged to apply online for free or reduced-price meals.

See the link at the bottom of this newsletter for more information including lunch menus.

Students had their school pictures taken this week. Students received a white card with information about ordering photos. Parents will also receive an email from Direct Photo regarding ordering. We will have a make up day for students who were absent and a retake day for students who want to retake their photo for ordering. More information will be sent out about these days.

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

We are now in the swing of the school year with students settled into schedules, lunch schedules worked out, and students know how to find their classes. We are seeing relationships built between our students and their teachers and student participating in their learning.

Thank you for your partnership with Kuna Middle School in your child's education.

Have a great weekend!

Anita Wilson, Principal
