Principal Message
You're Invited to Coffee & Conversation with Mrs. Hyde!
Join me on Friday, May 2nd at 8:45 AM in the LGI (cafeteria area) for a casual and engaging morning of conversation. This will be a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know one another better, and to dive deeper into some key insights from the Family Engagement Survey.
During our time together, we will discuss the survey findings, share ideas, and explore areas where we can work together to enhance the experience for both students and families. I’m excited to listen to your thoughts, learn about what matters most to you and your family, and gather valuable feedback to help us continue improving. I hope to see you there!
25-26 Class list Planning
It's hard to believe that we are already getting ready to plan class lists for next year. Please see this important message about requests.
If you have a request for a specific learning style for your child, please complete this KES Teacher Request Document or Spanish Form no later than April 30th for the 25-26 school year and email it to shyde@kewaskumschools.org. Due to the amount of work and attention to detail that each teacher puts into planning class lists, any requested changes in student placement will not be guaranteed after April 30th.
