As we enter the spring testing season, our halls are filled with students showing off the hard work they’ve put in all year. Students have been challenged to move into deeper levels of thinking—learning how to break down complex problems, evaluate different perspectives, and communicate their ideas clearly. Our teachers have focused on instruction that encourages students to be active participants in their learning, teaching them how to persevere through difficult tasks and think critically about the world around them.

The upcoming ISAT sessions are a chance for our students to show how much they’ve grown as thinkers and problem-solvers. We have a busy few weeks ahead, and we want to ensure every student feels confident and prepared.

🗓️ Important Testing Dates

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming ISAT sessions:

While the students do the heavy lifting in the classroom, a little extra support at home makes a world of difference:

Thank you for helping us make this a successful and stress-free testing season for all our students!

We want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to share you thoughts with us.

April 27th 6:30pm-8pm at KPAC. Everything a parent should know today featuring Officer Gomez-digital safety, Monte Stiles-drug prevention and positive choice, and a Teen advisory panel.

If you need to talk, the 988 Lifeline is here. This is a parent and student resource for suicide prevention and crisis situations.

At the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life's challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you're facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns, or just need someone to talk to, our caring counselors are here for you. You are not alone.

Advisory classes worked hard this week on a school-wide project to promote positive thinking for the upcoming ISAT tests. The project was also friendly competition between classes! Students worked together create outstanding displays, fostering an atmosphere of focus and determination. These positive reminders throughout the building provide a supportive environment as our students enter testing season.

Congratulations to Mrs. Haro's Advisory class who received a perfect score from the judges!

There was also a FOUR-WAY tie for second place.

Get ready for an action-packed week of sports at KMS! Our student-athletes are heading out to represent our school, and they would love to see you in the stands. Starting Monday, April 13, our A Tennis team (only) travels to TVCS. On Tuesday, the Track team heads to Emmett High School for a big meet. Wednesday is a busy day for tennis, with the B team away at Syringa and the A team playing at home. We wrap up the week on Thursday as our B team hosts Summitvue while the A team plays them on their home courts. All events start at 4:15 pm, so come out and cheer loud for our Kavemen!

As you know, Kuna Middle School has had students either bringing items to school that are distracting or using items inappropriately to purposefully distract from learning. We do not allow students to carry toys with them. This includes stuffed animals, large fidgets, squishy fidgets, etc. We also do not allow students to wear costumes to school including wearing "tails". These are sometimes fashion items however they are distracting to the learning environment and not appropriate for school.

Thanks for your support with helping to keep a positive learning environment for all students.

If you need help determining an appropriate item that your child can use for support, please contact your child's counselor.
