A message from Mrs. Funk
Dear Kuehnle Families,
Serving as your principal for the last ten years has been a privilege. I am so proud of the school family we have built together with The Koala Way. Serving as the principal of Kuehnle Elementary brought me so much joy as I witnessed the outstanding growth every koala made each year in both academics and character. Our koalas have demonstrated The Koala Way: Learning. Serving. Leading. with love, laughter, and integrity. Everyday I came to school excited to see the amazing things our koalas would do everyday at Kuehnle with our outstanding teachers and staff. I loved supporting our koalas at school events whether it was a music program, field day or skating. I will cherish the last ten years and will always remember the thousands and thousands of hugs my koalas gave me. I am very proud of this school community. Parents, thank you for your continuous support and involvement. It is the collaborative work we did together that make Kuehnle the BEST elementary school in Klein ISD. I love my school and will cherish all the memories we made together. Once a koala, always a koala. To all of my koalas: keep learning The Koala Way!
With deepest gratitude,
Mrs. Funk
Your fundraising dollars at work!
We always love showcasing how our fundraising dollars are being utilized on campus. We thank each and every Koala family who contributes and supports our fundraisers each year. We make it a priority to give it right back to our students through curriculum, technology, playground equipment, furniture and so much more. Thank you for your support!
Culture 4 Caring Campus of Distinction
We are pleased to announce that Kuehnle Elementary has been recognized as a Culture 4 Caring Campus of Distinction. Culture 4 Caring is a student-created and student-led organization comprised of student leaders from every campus. Each campus follows the mission, actions, and activities established by the District Student Leadership Committee. Klein ISD’s Culture 4 Caring was born in an effort to make each member of our community feel valued. Students wanted to create a welcoming and accepting environment in which every individual is acknowledged and appreciated. As students they chose to strengthen the culture of Klein through our shared vision. Students wanted to create a community for caring inside our schools so that every student feels included. The vision is divided into Five Pillars of Caring: originality, unity, kindness, culture, and equality. Our Kuehnle Student Council exemplified our campus Culture for Caring daily. Many thanks to these students for their hard work this school year, continuing the tradition of caring and kindness on our campus.
KISD Personalized Learning Model Campus
We are thrilled to announce that Kuehnle Elementary has been named a Klein ISD Personalized Learning Model Campus. This recognizes the dedication of Kuehnle’s incredibly talented, and relationship driven teachers and staff, who successfully implement innovative learning opportunities for their koalas by tailoring instruction to meet the needs and strengths of each student. Led by Principal Mrs. Funk, this team has successfully created personalized learning pathways and built student ownership of the learning that happens in the classroom. Klein ISD’s Promise2Purpose shared vision is seen all over the Kuehnle campus as they know their students by name, strength and need while fostering collaboration. Congratulations on being named a model campus for personalized learning!
