Orange Shirt Day. 

Every Child Matters

Parent Drop Off

Please make sure students are buckled and in car seats and secured while in moving vehicles. There have been many times students are arriving unbuckled, standing on the front seats and even out of the tops of sunroofs while in cars in the drop off loop. This is extremely dangerous and distracts drivers. When driving into KCC, please follow all traffic rules and regulations. Please continue to follow all directions from staff while dropping off and picking up. 

Math Superheroes!

Students planned and designed a whole costume, a cape and a super symbol for their Math alter-egos. This goes along with the first unit in Reveal, which has the students identifying  their strengths in math. All second graders made the capes and identified their own math strengths! Our mindsets are powerful and our children can do anything! 

Picture Day! 

KCC students and staff came with their biggest smiles this week! 

Message from Nurse Stacey! 

October is National Dental Hygiene Month. I would like to share these dental tips for a healthy smile:  Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Remember that brushing regularly promotes a clean mouth and fresh breath.  Floss every day.  Visit your dentist regularly. Call the health office if you need assistance finding a local dental provider. Follow the suggested healthy snack guidelines from our Wellness Policy. 

Polished Dental will be at KCC Oct.  12 for those students who signed up.

We will be starting vision/hearing/height and weight screenings for students in grades PK-2 in October. Please refer to the student handbook for additional information. If you do not want your child to participate in these annual screenings please send in a written note.  Please continue to send in updated physical forms to the health office as they are completed.

Monday, September 25th an Early Release Day

Thank you KCC for your patience and understanding this week as we worked through the situation with the water. 

KCC Before/After School Clubs!

KCC Before/After School Clubs start this week 9/25/23! All club sheets went home in backpacks today! 

Touchdown at KCC/QS Field

An unexpected and pleasant surprise happened early Thursday morning. Tiffany from First Light Flights landed safely but unexpectedly on the field between our schools. 

Mashpee Girl Scouts! 

This week KCC students who are Girl Scouts volunteered to pick up trash on the road leading up to the school. The girls worked so hard and our school grounds look even better! We are so proud of you!

What to do when you're late?

Staff (usually Mr. Prehna) directs parents who are dropping off students to the front of the building at 9:05 AM which means your child is late to school. Parents are required to park in the front (never in the bus loop) and walk their child to the front door where they will be marked late by an administrative assistant. If you are running late for Kids Klub or school meeting, never drive on the wrong side of the road to get to the front of the building. This is a traffic violation and extremely dangerous. Kids Klub does not accept students into their program after 8:45 AM and KCC does not allow students to enter the building until 8:53 AM. If dropping off and you are in this time frame, you'll be directed to drop off during normal drop off routines. 

KCC and QS Read Together! 

Mrs. O'Brien's 1st grade class and Mrs. Lepore's 4th grade are book buddies again this year! We had a great time meeting our Quashnet friends, reading books from our class library and most of all, coloring with them! We will be doing this once a month and look forward to the next visit. We had a great time and can't wait for October's book buddy date!

KCC PTO!

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Bake Sale with yummy treats! We couldn’t believe the amount of goodies we had to offer! And another thank you to everyone who came to our table and purchased treats and spirit wear, and who signed up to be volunteers! It was such a successful night, and that’s all because of our amazing families. We enjoyed meeting and interacting with all of you, and we look forward to seeing you at future events and our monthly PTO meetings!

Every Child Matters

ORANGE SHIRT DAY – SEPTEMBER 29, 2023

We are partnering with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to recognize Orange Shirt Day on Friday, September 29, 2023.  Orange Shirt Day was started 

in Canada in 2013, and its function is to create awareness of the individual, family, and community intergenerational impacts of Indian Residential Schools through Orange Shirt Day activities, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters.”  Members of our school community (students and 

staff) are encouraged to wear orange shirts on September 29th to commemorate the children lost to Indian Boarding Schools.  Everyone is invited to join the event at the Mashpee rotary at 1 PM on September 30th and to the social following at the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Government Center.

Linked below is an online resource that will help you learn more about the history of Indian Boarding Schools:  https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/us-residential-schools
