From the Principal:
We have almost made it through the first 9 weeks of the school year. Thank you parents and guardians for all of your support as we work together to help our students succeed. Teachers are scheduling Parent/Teacher conferences. We hope to have a conference for each of our students and review their academic progress so far this year by the end of October.
Our fall break is coming up soon as well and I hope you and your family enjoy this time together. When we return, please remember that we have a lot of work to do this school year, so try to get all students to school on time each day, as we will be learning from bell to bell as our students work toward their goals. Also, if you are the parent of a fourth or fifth grader and have been contacted about accelerated learning, please be sure to have your student here by 7am to avoid future Saturday school and to ensure your student's gaps are filled so as not to require summer school.
As always, please reach out to me at any time and let me know how I can help.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Paine

From the Assistant Principal:
The "devious licks" Tik-Tok challenge has become the newest fad for our students. In this challenge, the student destroys school property, steals property, etc.
Due to the high number of incidents and the rising costs associated with this challenge, if a student is caught destroying or stealing school property he/she will be disciplined by the code of conduct and will be placed at The Learning Center for 30 days. All of these students will be referred to NCISD Police as part of the consequences. Placement will be reviewed at 15 days and if attendance, grades and discipline requirements have been met, the student may return to KME. However, if they owe for damages, they must have paid for the cost of replacement before they are released or worked out a payment plan with the district. Parents, please talk with you students about making the right choices and potential consequences to their actions. We love our school and want everyone, staff and students, to help us take care of it.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tolbert
