Kennebunkport Consolidated School ~ Tel-u-Gram for Friday, March 24th, 2023
Dear KCS Families,
Next week, be on the lookout for important information regarding our placement process for the 2023-24 school year and our plans with regard to multiage programming. This week, I heard from Dr. Cooper that she is supporting our request for an additional teacher at the second and third grade level. So, now we can move forward with our planning and placement process. A big thanks to Dr. Cooper for continuing to support the efforts to increase our school’s enrollment.
Staff members have been noticing that students are starting to trickle into school later and later in the mornings. Supervision starts at 7:50, so students can arrive at school that early and have a few minutes outside prior to going to class. The official school day starts at 8:15, and we start marking students tardy at 8:20. Please make an extra effort to have your child(ren) at school by 8:15 at the latest. It’s hard on the children to enter the classroom when everyone else has already started their day.
RSU 21 Summer Boost Program information
We are so blessed to have so many family members joining us each week on Friday mornings. Please, remember that we can not use the Parks & Recreation parking lot on Friday mornings, because they need those spots for their own programming. Thank you for being considerate of their needs and parking elsewhere!
Warm Regards,
Karen Bubar, Principal

A note from Nurse Pro
Spring is almost here! Which means it is MUDDY and the playground has lots of puddles! Students are coming in from recess and outdoor play with wet shoes and clothes requesting a change of clothes and I am running low on supplies. Please continue to send your child in with boots and snow gear, even after the snow melts. Regardless of age or grade, please also consider storing a change of clothes in your student's backpack or classroom. That way if they do accidentally get wet they have a change of clothes that fits them and that they feel comfortable in. Thank you for your cooperation! -Nurse Pro

Dear KCS Families,
If you’ve been into KCS this week, you may have noticed a change in the office. Stephanie Redmond is our new administrative assistant running the main office. So, if you need to contact the main office about anything, please reach out to Stephanie Redmond at sredmond@rsu21.net. Also, stop by to say hi and give her a warm KCS welcome! Please, continue using the KCS Absence Reporting Form to report student absences. Lastly, I’d like to thank Mary Emmons for helping us out the past few weeks.
Next week, the Scholastic Book Fair returns to KCS after a three year hiatus! Kennebunkport Consolidated School Scholastic Book Fair: March 13-17, 2023! Students and staff will be able to stop into the Library and purchase a variety of their favorite books to take home forever. This year, your children can bring cash to spend, or use Book Fair eWallet. It's okay to just browse, too. Learn more at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/

HELP NEEDED - Additional SUPERVISION at Play Practice:
Additional volunteers are needed at play rehearsals, particularly the "all cast" rehearsals. We are thrilled that so many students are participating in the play, but we could use additional adult supervision to make rehearsals run smoothly. Any amount of help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Lastly, you do NOT have to fill out the school volunteer form to help out with the play, so if you haven't done that yet don't let that deter you from signing up. Link to sign up genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/
Also, a friendly reminder, for play practice, please use the door near the music room / Gymnasium entrance instead of coming through the main school entrance. There isn’t always someone available in the office after hours to let people in and out of the building. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to play director Emily Gannon at KCSschoolplay@gmail.com.

Kennebunkport Consolidated School ~ Tel-u-Gram for Friday, March 3rd, 2023
Dear KCS Families,
This week has been an unusual one. Coming back from a vacation week to a snow day to our Wellness Day. It’s been hard to get students, and staff, back into a solid routine, but we did have a lot of great fun!
For Wellness Day, our students participated in a variety of activities all to promote health and well-being. Activities ranged from nutrition topics to exercise and movement. We even had a few crafts included. Students were able to get hands-on with the activities. Ask your child what their favorite activity was. A huge thanks to all the staff who helped to organize the event and the many volunteers who helped out, which included some community members!
At this week’s Friday Morning Meeting, students will share with us about the learning that they’ve been doing in their allied arts classes connected to the Renaissance era. From archery to inventions to art… they’ve been engaged in some wonderful learning activities. A big thanks to our allied arts team who works collaboratively to integrate studies when appropriate. Our students benefit greatly from these experiences.
Warm Regards,
Karen Bubar, Principal
