Dear Kenowa Hills Middle School Families,
Thank you for helping us finish the semester so strong! We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the continued support of our families and staff. This past semester was filled with hard work, growth, and many meaningful moments of learning and connection.
As we look ahead, we are excited to begin a new semester full of fresh opportunities, new goals, and continued growth. We look forward to all that is ahead and cannot wait to see what our students accomplish next. We are also excited to celebrate our Honor Roll students with an Honor Roll Field Trip in February. More information about the Honor Roll and the field trip will be shared after report cards are sent home on January 30, 2026.
Count Day is February 11. We kindly ask families to avoid scheduling appointments for students on this day whenever possible. It is very important that students are present for the entire school day, as attendance is counted throughout the day. Count Day plays a significant role in determining school funding, which supports programs, staff, and resources for our students. Thank you for helping us make sure every student counts.
We are also looking forward to our STEM Academy Open House this Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Please see the flyer in the newsletter for more information.
As always—Go Knights!
Mr. Dodge
Principal, Kenowa Hills Middle School

Dear Kenowa Hills Middle School Families,
It was great to welcome students back this week following break! We’ve had a strong start, with students wrapping up their i-Ready testing and participating in PBIS stations to review and reinforce our school-wide expectations. The i-Ready assessments help us better understand each student’s academic needs and determine their individualized myPath instruction within the i-Ready platform, while PBIS stations support a positive and respectful learning environment for all of our Knights.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of Kenowa Hills Middle School. We appreciate our strong partnership with families as we continue working together to support student success.
As always—Go Knights!

Dear Kenowa Hills Middle School Families,
As we wrap up a wonderful 2025, we want to thank our school community for an incredible year. We’re excited for all that 2026 will bring and hope your break is filled with rest, joy, and time with family and friends.
Today, our middle school students participated in Enrichment Day, a special opportunity to build community, problem-solve, express creativity, and, most importantly, have fun. A huge thank you to Mrs. Haines for organizing this incredible experience, as well as to Student Council and all of our staff who helped plan activities and support the assembly at the end of the day. Your time and dedication made today a truly memorable experience for our students.
When we return to school in January, students will complete their i-Ready Mid-Year Assessments (Tuesday–Friday). These assessments help us better understand how to support each student and determine their individualized myPath on the i-Ready platform. Please help us by ensuring students bring a fully charged Chromebook each day, get a good night’s sleep, and arrive at school on time. Thank you for your continued support.
We wish you a joyful holiday season and look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year.
As always—Go Knights!

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
