Howdy! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am sure you had some tired kiddos after completing a full week of school. It was a great week! Thanks for all your help in making it such a successful week and transition back into the school year.
A huge shout out to all of the volunteers who showed up at our Volunteer Breakfast. What a great turn out!! If you couldn't make it and would like to get plugged in, send me an email and we can get you connected.
In the afternoons, traffic is backed up when Oak Hills has dismissal. If you need to enter Keenan at that time, you are always welcome to enter through the second entrance by the stadium and park on the side of the school. It’s just a little longer walk around to the front.
Have a fabulous week!
BE IN THE KNOW!!
As we approach the November election, it's important to stay informed about Proposition A, which will have significant implications for our community. This measure will be on the ballot, and your voice matters!
Take some time to research what Prop A entails and how it could affect our schools. Understanding the details will help you make an informed decision when you vote.
VERY IMPORTANT---DON'T FORGET TO COMPLETE YOUR RETURNING STUDENT REGISTRATION
Returning lions, don't forget you have to complete "Returning Student Registration" in Skyward for the 2024-2025 school year.
TRANSPORTATION CHANGE
Transportation changes must be made in writing no later than 2:00pm. Changes can be sent with a student or emailed to KeenanTransit@misd.org. If you are making a change from your normal daily transportation, a note must be sent in each time that needs to be changed. With 700 students we want to ensure everyone gets home safely and the correct way.
ABSENT from School
If your child is absent from school, make sure you follow these 3 easy steps. See the attachment below!
Need to check your student out early?
Please plan ahead and allow yourself some extra time when checking your student out early. You MUST have your drivers license or a state issued ID with you.
All early check-outs must be complete by 3:20.
Students will not be called down to the office until you have arrived and checked them out completely.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and help with check-out procedures.

IMPORTANT--Medication Update
New rules went into effect in August 2024 that impact MISD procedures for the administration of medication to students. ALL medications, including over the counter medications such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and oral or topical medications require a medical provider and parent/guardian signature before the medication may be administered. Please use the Authorization and Permission for Medication Administration form to obtain signatures from your medical provider and return to the school nurse.
