ACE scholarship application deadline is April 15.

ACE Scholarships are partial tuition, intended to provide added assistance for lower-income families that desire to enroll their child in a private school. Standard ACE award amounts are $2,000 for K-8 and $3,000 for high school, and no greater than 50% of private school tuition, yet may vary dependent upon unique circumstances. Families are responsible for working out a payment plan with the school for the remainder of the tuition.

Apr. 8, 2024 Eclipse

We are only a weekend away from this unique experience. I know there is a lot of talk about what it will be like, the actual event and all the people. We are planning to have school on Monday the 8th. We want it to be a learning experience for our KAES kids. Teachers have been teaching about it in the classrooms.

Each class will be doing different activities and I encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher and reference their newsletters for specific classroom details. KAES will provide proper eclipse viewing glasses for every child and each teacher will go over safety and proper use of them. Classes will also be making pinhole projectors and other means to view the eclipse. We invite families to join us for this special experience. For KAES the eclipse will start at 12:22 and end at 3:01 with totality from 1:39-1:43pm.

We understand that everyone has a different situation and different feeling of concern. Some of you may choose to stay home, and others may be attending other eclipse events elsewhere and some may choose to be at KAES with their class. Even though this day is a school day KAES will be flexable and work with your needs.

We understand that traffic will increase on this day and we encourage parents to be prepared for delays getting to and from school. KAES will also make sure we have the staff available to monitor an increased number of students for after school care.
