There will be a forces and motion unit test tomorrow.  Students can study the vocabulary cards that I sent home last week as well as review content in the assigned DE videos that I have assigned online.  If you have Netflix students can watch the Bill Nye Videos about Gravity, Motion, Friction, and/or Momentum to review the concepts that they will be assessed on tomorrow.

Students were given a yellow paper today about the Parent Night that we are hosting next week.  If you plan to attend Parent Night next Thursday at 5:30 please let us know so we can have enough pizza for your family to enjoy.

Tomorrow is Panthers day at KIS.  Students are allowed to wear their NFL Gear (NO HOODIES)  to school tomorrow as long as it is school appropriate.
