A Message from the Principal
Hello Spike Families!
I want to thank you for your support and helping make 2019-2020 a successful school year. Our students accomplished so much this school year and I am so proud of them. I hope you enjoy a short slideshow of our 2019-2020 year in review. Have a wonderful summer and we will see you all in the Fall.

A Note from Our Librarian
KISD is committed to bringing unique learning opportunities to our students and we are pleased to introduce a new, free reading service providing digital books through Sora, the student reading app. https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/x1crca6t1n?videoFoam=true
Why Sora?
The collection of titles in Sora is an extension of our HPMS physical library, only it’s in an app with 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. It’s convenient for students to check out titles at home, on the weekends or during school breaks with no worry about misplacing a book or running up late fees – these digital titles automatically return at the end of the lending period!
Sora can help students of all ages read more and improve comprehension. Struggling or reluctant readers, learning-challenged, second language learners, and gifted readers can all benefit from this service.
- Enrich vocabulary and improve comprehension and pronunciation
- Introduce students to books above their reading level
- Teach critical listening
- Help busy kids find time to read
- Incentivize reading with fun avatars and achievements
How does it work?
Download the free Sora app from the Apple App store, Google Play Store or visit soraapp.com. Students will use their Clever login to enjoy anytime, anywhere on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. (Open attachment for more detailed instructions.)
Whether a student’s interest lies in classics for required reading, or the latest popular juvenile or young adult fiction, they can find it all in Sora!
Happy Reading,
Ms. Graham
