The Gold Standard

Every day at school is an opportunity to learn something new, connect with a teacher or classmate and build on yesterday’s learning. Those days add up.

When students attend school consistently, they benefit from the conversations, explanations, relationships and experiences that bring learning to life. That’s why attendance matters from the first bell to the last day of school.

Every day counts, and together, we can help every student succeed.

The first week of KISD football delivered big plays, standout performances and a thrilling Harker Heights comeback win. Now, all five teams turn their attention to Week 2, with plenty of action close to home. Killeen and Ellison renew their crosstown rivalry Thursday night, while Shoemaker, Harker Heights and Chaparral also take the field at KISD stadiums.

Catch up on Week 1 and get the matchups, game times and tickets for the week ahead.

Friday night football is only the beginning for KISD’s marching bands. Students have spent weeks rehearsing since July, putting together the music, movement and countless moving pieces that bring a marching show to life. Now, with their first performances underway, the bands are preparing for a busy season ahead, including Drums in the Heartland, the 48th annual Spirit Spectacular and UIL marching competition.

Rooms is now the primary way KISD families and teachers communicate, and it’s built right into the Killeen ISD mobile app. Families can send messages, receive classroom updates and stay connected throughout the school year, all in one place.
