Now through Nov. 30, Horace Mann Insurance is giving away up to $60,000 in DonorsChoose.org funding. And this time, we’re spreading the wealth even further: Teachers, principals and administrators are all eligible to win!
- 40 winners will receive up to $250 in DonorsChoose.org funding
- 10 grand-prize winners will receive up to $5,000 in DonorsChoose.org funding
Yes, you’re reading that correctly. There will be 50 winners ...one of them could easily be you!

Video Announcements at RES
Each afternoon, you will receive a link to the announcements for the following morning. These are pre-recorded and edited. Please continue to show announcements first thing each day prior to Morning Meetings.
As we announce birthdays, please send students to the office for their birthday pencil. On Fridays, announcements will include sending students with character ribbons to the office as well.
If you get a minute, check out our "Ridgeview Recording Studio" in the lower level library. It's pretty awesome!

1st Six Weeks Parent Conferences
October 9 has been designated as a Professional Development Day devoted to Parent Conferences (not to exceed 4 hours) and Teacher Prep. Our campus expectation is that every teacher will conference with every parent following the guidelines below:
* Parent conferences cannot begin prior to Sept. 21 (end of the 1st six weeks)
* Parent conferences must be completed by October 10
* Teachers may phone conference with parents of students who have a 75/P or above in all subjects.
* Face to face conferences are required with parents of students who have an average below 75 or N.
* All conferences must be documented in AWARE.
KELLER U CREDIT ON ITS WAY
Keller ISD employees eagerly awaiting to receive credit for attending sessions at this summer's Keller University should not have to wait much longer.
KISD's Technology Department has worked diligently to extract data from the Sched platform and convert it so information can be correctly uploaded into Eduphoria.
Eduphoria now has all of the correct information and individual employees' credit should be uploaded soon.
ELPS Academy UPDATED INFO
All core and non-core teachers need to be ELPS trained each year. However, if you completed the course in January 2018 or later you may print your certificate and give Kim a copy. You do not need to redo the course.
If you need Sheltered Instruction hours or EQ hours you should consider taking the course again. If you use a certificate from Jan. 2018 or later you will get ELPS credit but no sheltered instruction or EQ hours.
Let Kim know if you have any questions.
#KISDPDCHAT RETURNS SEPTEMBER 11
The Professional Development and Education Technology teams are working together to host six Twitter chats – one per six weeks – throughout the 2018-19 school year.
The focus of each #KISDPDChat will be centered around one of the six core values in Keller ISD. All chats will all be on Tuesdays from 8-9 p.m. and offer EQ credit. The credit will be granted after the participant completes the chat and the post-chat form posted at the end of every chat.
