Dear
Parents,
I hope everyone had an
enjoyable spring break. The kids seemed to
be in good spirits this week. The staff is
re-energized for the final couple months of
the school year.
We started our WASL testing this
week. Tuesday and Thursday the students
took the Reading test. From my walk-throughs
during testing and conversations with
staff, the students are really taking
the tests seriously and doing a great
job. Next week we will be taking the
Writing tests on Tuesday and Thursday.
Please make sure that your child attends
school on those days and is well rested.
During the early release this
afternoon, staff will be participating
in district wide curriculum work
focusing on common language - consistent
practice throughout our 6-12 grade
levels. It is so valuable that we have
this time to bring all curricular
teachers together to network and
dialog. We have seen many significant
instructional improvements come from
these Friday afternoon sessions. Our
students are the ones that are really
benefiting from the secondary staff
collaboration.
We were recently told that our
Pennies for Patients fund raiser
generated $6,655. We were the 5th top
fundraising school in a four state
area.
As we near the end of the school
year please continue to track your
child's progress. Check the share point
sites consistently for assignments and
the online grades. If you have
questions, please don't hesitate to
contact teachers. Currently most kids
seem to be doing an excellent job of
keeping up with all assignments. Our
homework lunch program is tracking this
and our numbers of students needing to
attend it have been low the last several
weeks.
Finally, with the arrival of
spring and warmer temperatures we are
seeing girls wear shorter shorts and
skirts, boys in hats and hoods, hair
being dyed non-natural colors, and
students participating in public
displays of affection. All these
choices are not allowed at CKMS. Please
review these policies listed in the
student agenda with your child; we will
be doing the same here at school.
Consequences will be given to those
students choosing not to follow school
dress code and other expectations.
Extreme cases could mean that your child
will miss some of the end of school
events in June.
Please note correction in the April
Newsletter Calendar of Events. "High
School Musical" begins MAY 29, not April
29. We apologize for the error.
Kirk Dunckel,
Principal

WASL TESTING
WASL testing will continue the next 2 weeks on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:45-9:45 a.m. for
grades 6 & 8, 7:45-10:30 a.m. for grade 7.
PLEASE do not pull your child
from school during that time for appointments.
Once a student begins an exam, they cannot
return and resume at a later time/day. The
unfinished exam will be detrimental to their
scoring. If an appointment is unavoidable, hold
your child at home until after 9:45/10:30. Make
up WASL exams are scheduled for Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays beginning at 7:50 a.m.
Thank you for your cooperation!

For our student's
safety, SLOW DOWN!
If you, or another family
member, are dropping off/picking up Chief Kanim
students, PLEASE keep your speed to a minimum
while in the parking lot and driveway. We have
students, parents, and staff walking in the
parking area; high speeds are putting them at
risk. Thank you for your immediate cooperation!

Immunization Compliance for Fall
2008
Washington State Department of Health mandates that
all students receive required immunization to attend
school unless a personal or medical exemption has
been signed.
If a compliant/up-to-date immunization record is
not received at middle school registration, your
student is NOT completely
registered to start middle school in the fall of
2008. You may bring updated immunization
information to your school at registration time so
that your child will not be placed on the exclusion
list. If you are unsure of your student's
compliance, please review the Department of Health's
immunization requirement form below.
You are required to provide the school with a
compliant/up-to-date immunization record prior
to the beginning of the 2008-2009
school year for your student to attend school.

immunization requirement form, click:
