Dear KPS Parents and Families,
This school year, our school has partnered with E-Therapy to support student mental health needs with virtual & confidential counseling from a licensed professional counselor. If you would like to find out more about E-Therapy, please visit their website: https://www.electronic-therapy.com/
Counseling helps your student to:
Cope with specific emotions such as sadness or anxiety/depression
Tackle challenging experiences and trauma, equipping them with tools for success
Use appropriate problem-solving skills
Improve their overall mood, self-worth, and confidence for better academic excellence.
If you are interested in counseling support for your student, please contact your student’s administrator, teacher, or counselor for additional information.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hennix

🤩DECEMBER HS STUDENTS OF THE MONTH🤩
Congratulations to our high school students of the month for December!
The student of the month for grades 6-8 was nominated by the teaching staff.
JH (Grades 7-8) BOYS BASKETBALL:
Practice begins on Monday, January 2nd from 9-11am at KHS Gym. Coach Helwig wasn’t able to have meetings with all Kenmare-Bowbells students to get practice schedules out because of storm last week.
If practice says “@ Hall” this means practice will run from approximately 3:45pm-5:45pm at the Kenmare Memorial Hall. At this time mini-bus #10 (Mrs. Schmidt) will transport students to the hall for those who need a ride, if we become over capacity then we will find an alternative transportation solution.
To get practice schedule:
1) Go to https://www.kenmare.k12.nd.us
2) Click on “Menu”
3) Scroll down to “Athletics”
4) Click on “Practice Schedule”
5) If you want to add to your google calendar click the “+” in the bottom right hand of the calendar
Also please send a copy of your child’s athletic physical to kkeysor1@mykps.us if it hasn’t been turned in yet. Athletic fees can be paid by contacting the KHS office, both of these items need to be completed before your child can participate in practices/games.
If any questions please contact Coach Helwig or Mr Keysor (kkeysor1@mykps.us)

Dear Parents and Families,
Our district has been provided an opportunity to host e-care for your students. If your student isn't feeling well, has an injury, etc, students will see a registered nurse virtually in the office. Our staff will assist students in connecting and using the equipment. The nurse will communicate with you on what the next steps will be for your child. Of course any emergencies would still go to 911. All of the districts that use this find it very beneficial. Please let me know if you have any questions.
