From Mrs. Avery
Trimmier family,
We are back into the swing of school. I love seeing the students walk in with a smile everyday. Greeting them at the door starts my day in such a positive way. The next few weeks we will begin our MAP testing of students. These test gives us a baseline on where our students are and as we move through the year and give the test again at the midlle and end of year, we use these test to measure growth. Please help your student by getting them to school on time each day and have them get a good night’s sleep at night. I would like to remind everyone that breaksfat is free for all KISD students. We serve breakfast from 7:00 am- 7:25 am daily. We are looking forward to a great month of learning.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Avery
