Kohlberg Elementary Newletter
Week of 3-30-26
We are off to a fantastic start after our Spring Intersession! Our Coyotes have returned ready to learn and are actively engaged in instruction across all grade levels. Our upper-grade students are also preparing for the first round of STAAR testing, and we are proud of their hard work and focus.
We would like to thank all of our families who have joined us for Fitness Fridays. Your support and participation make a difference! We also encourage all families to complete online registration and join us for our upcoming Kite Days.
Early registration is extremely important, as it helps us plan and ensure we are fully staffed to meet the needs of our students for the upcoming school year.
Thank you for your continued support of our Kohlberg Coyotes!
