Campus Vision
At Kyle Elementary, we believe building relationships in a safe environment encourages student engagement, impacts campus morale, and inspires student achievement.
From Mrs. Lucita
It's hard to believe that we are in our last week of school! We have LOVED having our families back on campus! Field Day was AMAZING - Thank you Coach Cat and Coach B for an awesome time! Thank you to our families for your patience when BOTH raptor printers went down. We have many events this week. Please remember that all visitors need to have a valid ID to be on campus (we will still scan ID's even when the printer is down).
Last week to earn HOUSE Points! You can earn points by being a great Panther and following RAR around school (especially in the cafeteria)! Who will WIN this years HOUSE CUP?
This week all KES students will receive a "Flat Pantera" based off the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown.
- Take Flat Pantera with your on your summer adventures - on a road trip, vacation, playing at home, anything that you are doing
- Take a picture with Flat Stanley and let us know what you are doing. BONUS if you are reading or working on math facts!

ALL student devices and library books are due NOW! We still have 202 library books out! Help us get to ZERO (Books were due May 19th). If your child cannot find their library book they have checked out, you can pay online for missing the book.

If you will not be returning to KES next year, please let your child's teacher know. When we have a good student count, we are able to better staff and be ready for the first day of school.

Notes from Nurse Mathews, RN
Welcome to the last week of school ! Just a few last minute reminders.
Medications:
If your child has medication on campus you MUST pick it up no later than the last day of school May 26,2022. Medications can not be kept on campus over the summer. They will have to be destroyed if they are not picked up. Please find forms for next year below. Medication forms have to be filled out every year.
Medication Authorization 22-23
Immunizations:
Please make sure that your child has a current Immunization record or ROC on file for the upcoming school year. Your child will not be able to start the 22-23 school year without a current Immunization status on file.Please check with your child’s doctor this summer to see if they will need immunizations for the upcoming school year. If your child does receive immunizations this summer please send a copy of the updated record to the appropriate campus for next school year.
K-12 Immunization requirements
Registration
Registration is open for the 22-23 school year. Please make sure that you go online and register for next year. New and returning student’s MUST register. When filling out your child’s registration forms for next year , please make sure that you are filling out your child’s Emergency Health Card/ Medical information completely. This is where you will let me know about any health conditions, food allergies, medication, etc so that I can properly care for your child while they are at school. This information needs to be updated every year.
Emergencies happen and student’s get sick while at school. Please make sure that your contact information is ALWAYS current. You can always call our PEIMS clerk Mrs. Stewart at (512) 268 -3311 or send an email if your contact information changes to brenda.stewart@kes.net and she will update your information .

SMART TAGS (Campus ID's)
- If your student is a bus rider, they will have their ID's attached to their back pack and will need their ID to enter the bus. Please make sure they bring their ID daily with them to school.
- If your student does not ride a bus, they will keep their ID's at school. If an ID makes it home, please make sure they return it the next day.
If a student loses their ID, there will be a $5.00 replacement fee. Starting this year, ALL Hays CISD students will wear ID's while on campus.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and KES Houses
At KES we use a school wide House System. Each staff and student is a member of a House that represents a 7 Mindset and Character Trait. All new students and staff will learn which house they will join during the 1st week of school!
Each month we will focus on a Mindset and Character Trait.
September = Introduction and Review of 7 Mindsets
October = 100% Accountable
November = Attitude of Gratitude
December = Live to Give
January = Everything is Possible
February = Passion First
March = We are Connected
April = The Time is Now
May/June = Review 7 Mindsets
If you wish to purchase House shirts, please use the following link. All KES students and staff will receive a House shirt this year.
