To parents of Kingman Middle School Boys' and Girls' Basketball teams:
KMS played St. Marks yesterday (Monday 11/9/20) both at home & at St. Marks. Today, Renwick USD announced that St. Marks students will begin remote learning effective Wednesday, 11/11/2020. They have several positive cases of COVID amongst staff.
I communicated with the superintendent of Renwick St. Mark's this evening and she told me that the positive cases she referred to were adults/teachers and none are coaches nor were any at games in Kingman or St. Mark's. That said, the decision made to go remote at St. Marks was not something that would have put our students, coaches, or spectators at extra risk.
As always, it is so very important that all of us wear masks and distance in all settings. That includes school, and around town, etc. We are on a slippery slope right now based on the growing number of positive cases across Kansas and Kingman County. We need your active support of mask wearing to help keep our schools open.
Stay Safe! and #GoEagles
Max Clark, Superintendent of Schools

Below are pumpkins that Mrs. Pickett's 3rd grade students decorated. They decorated a pumpkin based off the main character of a book they wrote a report on. The pumpkins were displayed outside of our community business partner, Citizen's Bank of KS, during trick-or-treat street!
"Our attitudes are the crayons that color the world" These ladies are a perfect example of this and are reflection of our entire KES Staff!!
Mrs. Clouse remote students are connecting with the class and taking a little time to play a game together. AWESOME!!
USD 331 will have school today, Oct. 28 as scheduled. It’s wet out & drivers need to be extra cautious but temp is above freezing. Some bridges are slick. I believe we have a window of opportunity to get kids to school before temp drops temporarily. Drive safely.
Weather forecasters can't seem to make up their minds so we will be up early again evaluating the roads & weather. A decision will be made by approximately 6:00 a.m Wednesday. If you hear nothing = regular schedule; other options would be late start or cancellation. Stay tuned.
Due to the deteriorating conditions with sleet, rain and low temperatures, roads across the district are icy and slick. Sidewalks and parking lots at the schools are also glazed over. For that reason, we will be canceling school for today. Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020. Temperatures are not forecast to rise about freezing until mid-afternoon. This is not officially a remote day. Stay safe. See you tomorrow! Go Eagles.
