KAES Keenections Newsletter

8th graders take a break from studies to help pack and load food for the Keene Church Senior Share, a part of the LIFT program.

Did you know that Texas is launching the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program in the 2026–27 school year, allowing eligible families to receive state funds for educational expenses like private school tuition, tutoring, and therapies. Applications will need to be submitted around February 2026, and any child eligible to attend public school can apply with priority given to students from low-income households and those with disabilities. KAES is planning to offer a parent meeting in December to help provide understanding about this new program that the school intends on participating in. Please keep posted for further information.

Congratulations to Mrs. Enny and Mrs. Stotz for being recognized for Teacher of the Year (elementary and middle school) by the Keene Chamber of Commerce. Both are amazing teacher who are dedicated and give so much to our students. We are all so proud you!
