Welcome to Summer!

Dear Kingsland Families,

As the 2024-2025 school comes to a close, I want to extend my deepest thanks to you for trusting Kingsland School with your children and partnering with us every step of the way. Your support and dedication have been the foundation of a truly successful year, and we are so proud of what we've accomplished together.

This year has been filled with incredible achievements and memorable moments. Kingsland School outperformed all local schools in 2023 (the most recent accountability ratings from the state), a reflection of our students' determination, our staff’s unwavering commitment, and the strength of our school community. We also made history, as several of our middle school students earned high school credits for the very first time—a milestone that sets the stage for even greater success in the years to come.

We’re also thrilled to share that we received a generous $10,000 donation from Taste Highland Lakes, which allowed us to provide prepackaged meals for students—a gift that made a meaningful impact on our campus. Our students participated in community events like the local Touch-a-Truck, helping strengthen our connection with the wonderful town we’re proud to be a part of.

There were also plenty of joyful and exciting experiences throughout the year. Our high school students enjoyed a Casino-Themed Prom, creating memories to last a lifetime. And our elementary students were full of energy and enthusiasm as they learned, played, and built strong foundations for the future during the annual Field Day.

Looking ahead, we’re incredibly excited to celebrate a major milestone: Kingsland School’s 10th anniversary! A decade of growth, community, and excellence. As we step into this next chapter, we are more inspired than ever to continue building a school where every student is seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.

Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. We wish you a safe, relaxing summer and can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Sincerely,

Missy Dean, Principal

With heartfelt appreciation,

We have significantly fewer students, which means our rating is more greatly impacted by fewer numbers. It's a great day to be a Laker! Thank you to our students and teachers for all of their hard work and dedication. Thank you to our parents for supporting all that we do!!!!! Here's to onward and upward and continuing to do great things at Kingsland School.

Ensuring No Child Goes Hungry This Summer: Free Meals for Texas Children

As summer approaches, Texas children should look forward to spending quality time with friends and family, not worrying about having enough food to eat. Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller, is proud to collaborate with nonprofit organizations to provide free meals for children when school cafeterias close. From June 1 to August 30, kids 18 and younger can receive healthy meals through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Meal Programs, available at schools, churches, food banks, and other community organizations.

Families can easily find nearby meal sites by:

Visiting SummerFood.org
Calling 211 to speak with an operator

It’s important to check these resources regularly for updated dates and times. Some rural areas offer multi-day meal bundles for families who have difficulty attending a site daily.

While over 3 million Texas students are served by the National School Lunch Program during the school year, fewer children take part in the Summer Meal Programs. Commissioner Miller encourages Texas families to use these available tools to ensure their children have access to meals this summer, so they can return to school healthy, energized, and ready to learn.
