Within the next couple of weeks we will be repainting the loop to assist with students safety and traffic congestion.
Working in conjunction with our local law enforcement agency, we have identified a need for a red fire and emergency lane. Please do not park in this area. This will allow emergency vehicles easy access if the need ever arises.
We are asking everyone to please be mindful of space and pull up as far as you can in the yellow section in order to avoid backing up traffic into the intersection.
Thank you,
KPS Administration

A quick reminder for our KPS Elementary families as our North Dakota mornings start getting a little chillier! 🥶
Our students still head outside for recess, so please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather each day. A warm jacket or sweatshirt can make a BIG difference when they’re outside playing! 🧥🍂
👟 And don’t forget the shoes! Elementary students should have a separate pair of shoes strictly for outdoor use. This helps us keep the mud, grass, and everything else those busy little feet find outside from making its way through our classrooms and hallways. 😉👟
As the weather continues to cool, please keep an eye on the forecast and send hats, gloves, and warmer layers when needed. 🧤🧢
Thank you for helping us keep our kiddos warm, comfortable, and ready to enjoy recess! 💛

Just a quick reminder to our Kenmare Public School families that tomorrow, Wednesday, September 16, is an Early Release Day!
🏫 Elementary: Dismisses at 1:15 PM
🎓 High School: Dismisses at 1:30 PM
Please be sure to make any necessary arrangements for your students to head home a little earlier than usual. 🚌🏠
⏰ Set those reminders, adjust those afternoon plans, and help us spread the word!
💛 Thank you, KPS families!

The Kenmare Country Club XC Invite is coming up on Tuesday, September 22, and we’re looking for a few awesome volunteers to help us keep things running smoothly! 😉🪿

If you enjoy cross country, being outdoors, or simply want to spend the day supporting some fantastic student-athletes, we’d love to have you on our team! 💛
