KAES Keenections

We were super excited when the KAES Junior High Girls Basketball team was invited to the SWAU Hoops High School basketball tournament. Now we are bouncing off the walls with pride that our Girls who have won four of our six games earning them 4th place in the small schools tournament. Go Lady Eagles!

Please note our school schedule. Teachers will be in training Feb. 7-9. We will not have school during these three days and will return back on Thursday Feb. 10 as normally scheduled.

KAES will continue to offer virtual learning through Feb. 4, 2022. If your child is sick at home or home out of caution and seeks to avoid contact with other people, virtual learning will be available. If you plan to be virtual you will need to be virtual the whole week and must fill out this KAES Virtual Registration form. It will help us keep track of students better.

We have been very blessed with low case numbers of positive tested students and have seen a continued precipitous drop in cases in our local community since Jan 17. We are happy to announce that all students will be moving back to face to face education starting Feb. 10. Masks will be recommended but not required. I thank each one of our families for your continued monitoring of your members for signs of symptoms and for exercising caution for everyone's safety. This only works as well as we work together.

Themes for I Love KAES Week are in.

Monday- Show us your best Valentine’s Day spirit

Tuesday – Twin, Triplets and more, show your school spirit by dressing alike with your friends.

Wednesday- Book Character Day. Dress as your favorite book character.

Thursday – Pajama Day, wear your favorite pajamas

Friday – Future Friday, dress as your future career

Sales for our fundraiser are going really well. Orders can only be placed by emailing homeandschool@kaes-sda.org. Payment can be made in the office. Cash or check is fine. Checks should be made to KAES, with Home and School in the memo line. Payment should be in a sealed envelope marked "Home and School" and left with Ms. Mimi. Be sure to include the student's name on the envelope too.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you so much,
