Awards Assembly
Today we had our Awards Assembly. It is amazing how many of our students earn academic and attendance awards. This also means we have started a new quarter! Please join me in encouraging your children to put forth their best effort this last quarter.
7th grade
8th grade
Registration is Open!
Dear Parents and Guardians
Have you started thinking about next year? I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I am happy to announce we have opened enrollment for our 2023-2024 school year. We are excited and looking forward to next year and all the learning opportunites that are already being planned.
There is potential of full classes for next year, so we are only allowing current families to enroll during the month of March to ensure that you have a place at KAES. As we move into April we will open enrollment for new students. I know it's easy to say I will enroll tomorrow or next week. Remember enrollment is on a first come, first placed basis so I encourage you to not delay. I want everyone to have a place at KAES.
Another reason to enroll early is that we offer a $100 discount on registration fees for everyone that enrolls before the month of May and a $50 discount for enrolling before the month of June.
Look for a detailed follow up email with directions how you can enroll online. If you have any trouble, please do not hesitate to call the school office for help.
Sincerely,
Todd Coulter
Adopt a pilot
We want to thank Southwest Airlines Pilot Bennett Spencer for working with the 4th grade teaching the many valuable lessons of being a pilot and what it's like to be a pilot. This quarter the 4th grade is participating in the adopt-a-pilot program.
