Kendall Connection Newsletter
2019-2020 - Newsletter Week 2
Great Start!
It has been a wonderful first two days and we appreciate your partnership in creating a successful school for each of your precious children.
We also have good news to share in that the Texas Education Agency released their final 2019 Accountability Summary Ratings this week. As shared with parents in Boerne ISD communication, our District earned an "A" for the 2nd year in a row.
In addition this was the first year that campuses received an A-F rating. Kendall is proud to share that we scored a 94 and have an A Rating!!!! In addition we had two areas of Distinction Designations in the area of ELA/Reading and Comparative Closing the Gaps. We celebrate the staff's and student's dedication and know that this success is also due to our great parent partnerships and the work starts at home. We also share Dr. Price's voice in the district article that our campus too is more than an "A" and STAAR scores and we will continue celebrate the arts, relationships, leadership, service, creativity, and innovation in and out of the classroom. Way to go Kendall Knights!
· Parent Orientations will be held on Tuesday, August 27th for 4th and 5th grades and Tuesday, September 2 for PK-3rd grades. During this night, the teachers will review classroom learning organization and procedures, homework expectations, parent communication methods, and much more. We would ask that this be a parent only night for you to have time with your child’s teachers.
· As a reminder our school day for this year will be 7:35-3:00. The building will open each morning at 7:05 to get ready for the day. Please do not drop off your children before 7:05, as there will not be staff on duty to monitor the students. Thank you as well for your patience and support as we continue to implement new additions for safety to our parent pick up area. Every parent either picking up students from their car or parking to pick up their student will need a KES parent pick up sign. Having your child ride the bus or be picked up in your car are the safest pick up options.
· Note from the Cafeteria: There will be ice cream for sale each Friday beginning on Friday, August 30. The ice cream will be $1.00.
· Calling all Summer Readers!! Our KES PTO we will be hosting a party in the Kendall Elementary cafeteria during the school day on Thursday, August 29 for those of you who participated in the summer reading program. Please have your summer reading logs turned into your teachers by next Friday, August 23. A copy of the summer reading log can be found at https://tinyurl.com/y4aahfbm in English or at https://tinyurl.com/y5nmglao in Spanish.
