Spring picture day is approaching. While participation is optional, this service provides families with the opportunity to purchase professional photos of their child without the requirement of a school uniform. Students will not be required to wear their school uniform on Tuesday and may dress in attire of their choice for pictures. After their photos are taken, students may change.

With the unexpected loss of school days we had in February, KAES will need to have school on Friday April 3, 2026. This was listed as a possible weather makeup day on the calendar. This will be a half day (noon release). Please plan to have your child attend on April 3.

Did you know that for the past four year KAES has partnered with ACE Scholarships Texas? I encourage you to look at the information about applying for an ACE Scholarship for 2026-2027. Just click the link below to find out more.
