Kohlberg Elementary Newletter
Week of 3-2-26
We can’t believe we are just one week away from Spring Break! This will still be a busy week for our Coyotes. Some of our students will be taking the TELPAS exam, and all of our students continue to be actively engaged in meaningful instruction each day. Attendance is especially important this week to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and do their very best.
As we approach intersession, we hope all of our families enjoy a fun, safe, and restful break together. Thank you for your continued support of our Kohlberg Coyotes! 💙💚
