Re:  Middle School Amplify Science Materials Delivery

Each middle school will be receiving an additional shipment of Amplify Science Kits prior to winter break.  By adding these kits, it will minimize the need to share materials across so many different classrooms.  

Delivery carriers will be contacting the head custodian/school to schedule a delivery date.  These materials will be delivered on pallets. Delivery drivers will bring a pallet jack in order to bring the materials into the building at a single drop point just inside the school.  This shipping information sheet will provide more specifics on the number of pallets and number of boxes (see rows 32 and 33 on the first tab) that will be included in the delivery.  Once materials have arrived, please use the shipping information sheet and the packing list for the shipment (found in a clear plastic envelope affixed to the outside of one of the boxes) to confirm receipt of the expected materials.  Please email Tresia Hassan (tresia.hassan@kckps.org) and Spencer Martin (spencer.martin@kckps.org) to confirm delivery and report any discrepancies.  

Please ensure that your science teachers are also made aware of when these materials arrive so that they can access any needed materials for upcoming units of study and store materials that may not be needed until next school year.  

Please reach out to Spencer Martin, Secondary Science Instructional Coach (spencer.martin@kckps.org)  or Suzie Legg, Curriculum Coordinator (suzie.legg@kckps.org) with any questions.
