Bobcat Pride
Sunset Valley Elementary
Week of October 2
The Principal's Den
We want to be sure you are aware of the initiative the District is embarking upon for the 2017-18 school year. Combined with the voice of all members of the Keller ISD community, we will craft a vision for the future of education in KISD. An important and challenging part of this process is ensuring that everyone knows that we are doing this. I’m reaching out to you to make sure that you are aware, but also to ask you to please consider taking part in the process.
The link below takes you to our KISD Visioning site. It explains everything there. Whatever you can do to help us engage as a parent, but we would greatly appreciate it if you will reach out to students and other community and business members as well. Thank you for your support of Keller ISD – we look forward to hearing our community’s voice!
