IMPORTANT DISMISSAL INFORMATION!
Parents/Guardians MUST have 24-25 KAE Pick-Up Tags at Dismissal
New Month = New Teacher Rotation
We will be rotating teachers through dismissal areas each month. This means that it will be a new crew of faces outside calling on the walkie talkie. It is crucial for parents/guardians/car services to have the OFFICIAL 24-25 KAE PICK-UP TAG at dismissal. The pick-up tag is how we acknowledge that the individual has permission to pick up the student. (Hand-made signs are not accepted.)
To ensure student safety, students will only be released to adults with the proper tag. Anyone attempting to pick-up a student without the official KAE tag will be asked to enter the building and show ID for verification of pick-up permissions.

Lunch with Your Students
Beginning September 9th
Only visitors with a confirmed slot in Sign-Up Genius will be permitted to eat lunch with their student.
Parents/Guardians will sit with your student(s) in our covered picnic area (weather permitting). In the event of inclement weather, parents may eat lunch with their student(s) in the cafeteria at designated tables. We are only able to accommodate a limited number of lunch guests each day, so we ask that parents limit your lunch visits to allow all parents the opportunity to visit.
Please sign up no more than twice a month for each child.

Student School Meal Information
Click the Image Below to Apply for Free or Reduced-Priced Meals!
We are NOT a Garland ISD CEP campus, so students are charged for meals or families may apply for free or reduced-price meals.
Students that are eligible for free or reduced-price meals must apply yearly to receive the benefit, and all other students will pay full price for their meals. If your student(s) had a benefit the previous school year, it will expire 30 days after the start of school unless a new application is submitted.
Parents have until September 23 to fill out an application before it defaults back to full pay on the 24th. Students will not go without a meal, but will be given an alternate meal, which consists of a cold cheese sandwich, white milk, and carrots once the balance has met -$25.00.
