Kennett Middle School 2021-2022 Course Placement:
KMS utilizes the following data points to best determine course placements for all students.
- Teacher/Case Manager Input
- Subject area Benchmark Exams
- Algebra Readiness Exam
- Course Final Grades
End of July/Early August: We will make preliminary schedules available on Skyward. Students and families will have access to see their course placements. Please note that we are still placing students into sections so teacher assignments or periods will not be available when preliminary schedules are released.
Mid-August: We will publish schedules with teacher names and periods on Skyward; we will send an email to tell everyone that this feature has been activated.
