20 days of Perfect Attendance

• Maestra Muñoz's class on November 5th
• Maestro Nico's class on November 6th

We had a 95.4% attendance rate for the week of November 2nd-6th.

We look forward to an amazing year of learning and growing together. Please remember that attendance is a huge factor in making sure your child has a successful year. We want to see every student every day! The goal is for each student to attend at least 95% of school days (missing no more than 10 days for the entire year). Independent study will be available for planned extended absences of 3 up to 14 days (pending approval).

A class receives perfect attendance when all students are in class. When classes receive 10 days of perfect attendance they get to choose between a Popcorn Party, Pajama Day, Eat lunch on stage, Spirit Day, Homework pass or another activity of their choice.

Kahle Community Center is accepting registrations for the 2026/2027 Youth Basketball season. The season begins the week of January 4th and runs through late March/early April, depending on weather.

Leagues offered:

Girls Grades 3–5 – Tuesday nights
Girls Grades 6–8 – Monday nights
Boys Grades 3–4 – Tuesday nights
Boys Grades 5–6 – Thursday nights
Boys Grades 7–8 – Wednesday nights

Games and practices are held at Kahle Community Center, 236 Kingsbury Grade Rd. Players will have approximately one one-hour practice and one one-hour game each week.

Registration is $110 per child and includes a team shirt. Registration will remain open until leagues are full. Some divisions currently have waitlists, but families are encouraged to register early and join the waitlist. Families are not charged while on the waitlist. As additional volunteer coaches complete their background checks, more player spots will be opened.

Volunteer Coaches Needed!

Kahle Community Center needs volunteer coaches to help get more kids onto the court. No previous coaching experience is required. The volunteer background check process can take some time, so don’t wait—volunteer now!

The more cleared coaches we have, the more children we can place on teams.
