🚗 After-School Pick-Up Traffic (3:00–3:40 PM)
To help reduce congestion and keep everyone safe during afternoon pick-up, the school board is asking for your help with traffic flow between 3:00 and 3:40 PM.
Please follow these guidelines:
➡️ If you are parked in the parking lot, turn left when exiting or go straight down a side street
⛔ Please avoid going northbound on 7th Ave when leaving the parking lot
⛔ If you are using the pick-up loop, avoid going south on 7th Ave
➡️ From the loop, turn right when exiting or continue down a side street
These small adjustments will help traffic move more smoothly and keep students, families, and staff safe during our busiest time of day.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience! 💙
Senior Night 🟡
Tonight we celebrate our Kenmare-Bowbells Honkers Wrestling seniors.
Years of early mornings, hard practices, tough matches, and unforgettable moments have led to this night. You’ve represented Honker wrestling with grit, heart, and pride, and your impact on this program will last far beyond the mat.
A huge thank you to the families behind these athletes. Your time, dedication, sacrifices, rides to practice, support in the stands, and belief in this program are the foundation of Honker wrestling. This success belongs to you too.
We are grateful for every moment you’ve given to the Honkers and proud of the legacy you leave behind. 💛
Once a Honker, always a Honker.

Kenmare Families & Community — We Need Your Input!
Last year, Kenmare Public School sent out a survey about the possibility of a four-day school week. Based on the results, there was enough interest from families to continue the discussion and gather more information.
At this time, no decisions have been made. Our goal is simply to better understand current community thoughts, concerns, and possible benefits as we review state requirements and research from other districts.
Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Your feedback will help guide future discussion and planning.

Dear Kenmare Families and Community Members,
We want to take a moment to address the increase in illness we are seeing and to reassure you that we are doing everything we can as a school to keep students and staff healthy.
Our custodial and classroom teams are working diligently each day to maintain a clean and sanitary learning environment. High-touch surfaces are being cleaned and disinfected repeatedly throughout the day, and each classroom is fogged twice daily to help reduce the spread of germs.
We kindly ask that if your child is sick, please keep them home and notify the school. There will be ample time and flexibility for students to make up missed work, and accommodations will always be provided. While distance learning is available as an option, we recognize that many students who are ill are not feeling well enough to participate, and that is completely understandable—health comes first.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and partnership as we navigate this together. Please know that our goal is to do everything possible to keep germs out, keep kids healthy, and keep learning moving forward in a safe and supportive way.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.
With appreciation,
KPS
