KAES Keenections Newsletter

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

We are excited to welcome Mrs. Reyna back to KAES. Mrs. Reyna will be teaching Math, Science and Social Studies to 3rd and 4th grades while Mrs. Nu is on maternity leave. Mrs. Reyna is not a stranger to KAES. She did her student teaching at KAES and has been a sub and long-term sub many times. She already knows most of our students by name. We are blessed to have her care for our classes while Mrs. Nu is away.

Please remember jackets that are worn inside must be solid black, blue, white, or gray with no brand names or symbols showing. Any approved KAES hoodie or jacket is permitted. Students will be asked to remove any jacket that does not meet the dress code. Any jacket may be worn when outside. See below if you are interested in purchasing a hoodie for you or your child.

KAES is selling school hoodies in black, gray, and navy with the same image of the school shirt on the front. The back of the sweatshirt is blank. Image coming soon. You can order yours at this form link, or in the school office. ORDER HERE

This is a friendly reminder that if you are planning to apply to TEFA, the application opens on February 4, 2026, and closes on March 17, 2026.
