This year our STAAR test dates will begin a bit earlier than in years past. We are excited about the change, as it gives our students time to rest and recharge in between testing sessions. Please see the schedule below and plan for your child to be present on testing dates. As a reminder, only our third, fourth, and fifth grade students will be taking the STAAR test. Third and fourth grade students test in both Reading and Math; fifth grade students test in Reading, Math, and Science. Any student who does not complete the TEA-required STAAR tests for the grade level will be required to complete 30 hours of tutoring in each tested subject by the end of the subsequent school year. For more information, please reference Texas House Bill 4545. Please note that KME is closed to visitors on all testing dates.

Friendship parties will take place in each KME classroom on Friday, February 10th at 2:40 pm. If you would like to attend, please stop by the front office to preregister between February 1st and February 9th. Pre-registration eases the line at check-in and allows you to skip the line in the front office. Anyone visiting for a party MUST be listed in Skyward as an emergency contact for the student.

If you choose to pre-register, please be sure to keep your printed badge and your leave early slip and bring it with you to the party on February 10th. For questions, please contact the front office.

We are so thankful for our Counselor, Mrs. Christie Fernandez! She is kind, caring, and selfless. We'd love to shower her with appreciation during Counselor week. If your child would like to write a note, please feel free to send it in during the week of February 6-10.

We invite you to come enjoy our living museum of historical figures, put on by our fifth grade students on Thursday, February 16 from 5:00-7:00 pm. Th e museum will be set up in the Cafeteria.

Many children rely on school meals for breakfast and lunch during the week but go home to little or no meals on the weekends. The Houston Food Bank’s Backpack Buddy program works to fill the weekend gap for chronically hungry children by providing nutritious, child-friendly food for children to take home over the weekend during the school year.

If your student is absent from school, you can report the absence and upload doctor notes, etc. here: https://forms.newcaneyisd.org/Forms/AttendanceNotes

This year our school lunches are no longer free for all students. The cost of a lunch is $3.00. If you have not done so already, please log in to School Cafe to complete a lunch application. Click here to complete the form: https://www.schoolcafe.com/ncisdnutrition
