Kaleidoscope Academy

Thank you to everyone who attended Family Night! We are grateful for many participating community organizations, especially the Erb Park Neighborhood Association. Attendees enjoyed interacting with reptiles and therapy dogs, indulging in tasty treats, playing fun games, and creating beautiful art. Families smiled for portraits, toured the new classrooms and garden, and received haircuts plus other goodies. This annual relationship-building event is one of the

many things that makes KA such a wonderful school!

KA students benefit from the pawsitively amazing services of several therapy/comfort dogs that visit our school. Interactions can occur in the classroom or the Nest, our self-regulation room that is open to all students. Some days would be ruff without this program, so we are furever grateful to our dog teams.

Studies suggest that eating breakfast may help children do better in school by improving memory, alertness, concentration, problem-solving ability, test scores, school attendance, and mood.

Breakfast is available at no charge for all students to enjoy from 7:20 until 7:50 a.m.

Here is the breakfast/lunch menu for October. Salad bar is coming soon!

Families that drive their students to school in the morning are encouraged to use extra caution!

Use the drop-off lane in front of the school on Brewster Street. Pull up as far as possible.

Students should exit the vehicles onto the sidewalk rather than the street. Drivers should carefully re-enter the traffic lane. Families that want to sit in the vehicles with their students should park on a nearby street until the bell rings.

It’s middle school, my dear Watson! The sixth grade Humanities students donned their detective hats and created theories for unsolved mysteries. The mysteries generated a lot of discussion and debate in the classroom. By studying the mysteries, students practiced using text evidence to support their thinking and ideas. They constructed well-developed paragraphs to explain how they "cracked the case"! Ask your child to explain the mystery of Easter Island or the Mary Celeste.

Middle school sports are a great opportunity for students to get involved and belong to a team!

Sign up now for winter sports teams!

Boys and Girls Club opens at 6:45 a.m. (before school) and closes at 6 p.m. (after school).
