Great Things Are Happening
Happy Fall Break! As we come to the close of our first quarter, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued support and dedication to our school community. The halls are full of joy, learning, light, and love, and it’s because of the wonderful partnership we have with you. Your involvement, encouragement, and commitment have created an environment where our students can thrive. Together, we’ve set a strong foundation for the year ahead, and I’m excited to see all that we will continue to accomplish. Thank you for making our school a place where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn
Rescheduled Stories that Soar
Our team is working hard putting together the Stories That Soar performance. It will be on Friday 10/25 at 9:30am in the courtyard. Please join us to see the magic.
Raising Readers or Literacy with Lehman
Mark your calendars for Wednesday 10/23, 9am - 10am. We are hosting our first ever Raising Readers class, created by parents, for parents, designed to provide helpful tips and tricks on supporting your child's reading journey. We will be talking about how to help your student sound out words, understand what a story is about, and how to write. The information will be helpful whether it is reading time at night or homework time after school. Light refreshments will be provided. We also understand that it is PD day and you might have your student with you. If you need to bring them, Ms. Schiavone will be hosting group games during the hour and would love to spend some fun time with the students.

We have some fun events on the calendar that we are excited to share with you.

PTO and Holiday Shop

This group is also very much in need of your help to put together the Holiday Shop this year. Please click here to sign up to volunteer. Any time you could give would be so much appreciated.
Fire lanes, accessible spots, and now the bus bay...oh my!
It is not safe or kind to park in fire lanes, accessible spots, AND now the bus bay. If you have been guilty of using the bus bay to park, the bus drivers are reporting your plates to TUSD and TPD. It is also not kind to be aggressive and/or argumentative when told to move your car from said illegal parking spot to a legal one. The kind thing to do is park legally and model safe and appropriate behavior for our students. The safety of a child or adult should never be compromised for the sake of your convenience.
Dine For Dollars
This year, we've expanded our 'dine for dollars' program to offer a variety of family dining nights. Now, you have the flexibility to choose when and where you'd like to support Kellond.
- Texas Roadhouse - 10/17
- Panda Express 10/22
Coffee Talk
Thank you to Ms. Leftwich for finding our new coffee truck, Adelita Cafe. The cold foam pumpkin latte was delicious. Mark your calendar for the last Wednesday of the month to park and get yourself a cup of coffee. Next one is on 10/30
