Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope you have had a great Christmas break and are looking forward to the start of the new year. With the start of the new year also begins 3rd Quarter. School will start on Wednesday January 3, 2024. School offices will be open on January 2, 2024 during regular school hours.
KAES MAP Testing
Winter MAP testing will be on January 16-19. This test helps us see how your child is learning so far over the school year. These are regular school days but classes will be arranged for testing times.
KAES Scripps Spelling Bee
KAES Scripps Spelling Bee will be held on January 11, 2024 at 9:00 am in the KAES gymnasium. Parents, family and friends are invited to attend. We will have 24 students from 4th through 8th grade competing. Each student has been given the 500 word basic list to study but any word in the dictionary is fair game. Come join us for some competitive spelling.
