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
We are down to our last two weeks of school. It's hard to believe how quickly this year has gone! There are many events happening the last two weeks. Just a reminder that all visitors must present a valid ID and wear their visitor sticker when on campus.
2022-2023 Returning and New Student Registration - PLEASE register online for 2022-2023 or notify your child's teacher you will not be returning to KES by May 25th.
It is time to register online for next school year! All returning and new students need to register online. Please reach out to our front office if you need assistance. 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. Thank you for helping ensure we have the right number of teachers for our Panthers 2022-2023.

Notes from Nurse Mathews, RN
Welcome to May!
We made it! We have just a few more weeks until summer break!
Last week Flu and a couple of Covid cases were reported. Please make sure your child is healthy and ready to learn when they come to school.
Immunizations:
Please make sure that your child has a current Immunization record or current ROC exemption on file. Your child will not be able to start the 22-23 school year without current immunization status on file. Please check with your child’s doctor this summer to check if they will need any immunizations for the upcoming school year. I will also be sending notices home as a reminder. IF your child receives immunizations this summer please send them to the appropriate campus for the next school year.
K-12 Immunization requirements
School ROC exemption information
Medications:
If your child has medication at school, please make arrangements to pick it up on/before the last day of school May 26th. Medication cannot be left in the clinic over the summer. Any leftover medication will have to be destroyed.
If your child will need medication at school next year, please have their doctor fill out the paperwork over the summer. Please find links to next year’s medication forms below.
Medication Authorization 22-23 School Year
Registration is now open for next school year. All student’s new and returning have to register. Please make sure you fill out the Medical information /Emergency Health Card correctly. This is where you can tell me all about any health conditions, food allergies, medications, etc that I need to know about so that I can care for your child appropriately while at school. The Emergency Health Card is also used to contact you in case of an emergency with your child while at school or at school related activities.
Emergencies happen and students get sick while at school. Please make sure your contact information is ALWAYS up to date.
If you have any questions as we end this year and look toward next year, please reach out and I will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.
Here’s to the last few days…let's finish strong, happy, and healthy!er needs a covid test, you must call your PCP and schedule an appointment.

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.
