Reminder: Kilmer MS Open Houses

Dear Kilmer Community,

 

As a reminder, our Eighth Grade Open House is scheduled for Tuesday, August 20th from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. and our Seventh Grade Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 22nd from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. During our seventh and eighth grade open houses, students will receive their class schedules and locker assignments. Parents will also receive a packet of FCPS information, including bus schedules, when they pick up their child’s schedule. In addition, families will have the opportunity to join the PTA, practice opening the assigned locker and add supplies, locate classrooms, and add money to lunch accounts. PE uniforms will be sold the first week of school. Please bring cash or check made out to Kilmer Middle School. The cost of the uniform is $10 ($6 for the shorts and $4 for the shirt). Online ordering for PE uniforms is now closed.

 

The following TWO forms are required to be completed in order to receive a class schedule and locker assignment at the open house.

Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account

SIS Parent Accounts provide access to view your child’s student information, including attendance, report cards, class schedules, gradebook, course history, discipline, health, and school information, establishing another form of communication between home and school. If you had an active account from the 2018-2019 school year, you can continue to use this account for the 2019-2020 school year.

Parents who have recently registered their child at Kilmer Middle School will receive a letter in the mail in mid-august with an activation key and login information to create a SIS Parent Account. For additional assistance in setting up SIS Parent Accounts, please refer to the following links:
