APEX Fun Run is THIS Thursday, April 13th
During the Apex Fun Run program, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on Thursday, April 13th to help our school. Students will run for 30 minutes and average 26-36 laps, with the maximum amount of laps being 36 (each lap is 1/16th of a mile). Sponsors can pledge $1, $2, $5 per lap or any other amount for each lap students run. Funds raised this year will go to the school to pay for the Technology, Books, & PTA Budget for Student and Family Engagement!
The Apex Fun Run program is for every student regardless of financial giving. All students will receive Apex wrist bands, Apex race-day jerseys, team awards and participate in the Fun Run itself. We invite all parents to come to the Apex Fun Run and share in this great event! The times for the Apex Fun Run are as follows:

Campus Climate Survey
PLEASE Take Annual Campus Climate Survey now through April 12th. At this time we've only had 24 families participate.
The survey is asking you for feedback regarding academic preparation, student support, parent engagement, school operations, school leadership, and more. Survey results will help the SVES leadership team as well as our CEIC to understand where we are succeeding and where we can improve.
You can take the survey by visiting http://www.k12insight.com/KellerISD/schoolsurvey.
To encourage participation from all parents, the parent survey is being offered in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
