Kerr Happenings
February 22, 2024
It's hard to believe, but spring break and the final term of the school year is right around the corner! Our performing arts groups are gearing up for competition season, and the calendar of events is full of activities for all students this spring.
As always, please reach out if you need any assistance or have any questions.
Mr. Lewis and Ms. Tones

Family Friday
Our next Family Friday will be on Friday, March 1st at 7:30am. This month's session we will be discussing how families can support their student during standardized testing. Study strategies and general information about the types and purposes of upcoming testing will be shared.
We love to have our families join us in person, but also understand sometimes that is not possible. A Zoom link is included for those that would prefer to join us virtually.
