How The Koala Saves Christmas
Join us in spreading holiday cheer by helping to fill the Grinch’s heart! We invite our students to donate a BRAND NEW toy to bring joy to children in need. All toys will be donated to NAM as part of our school-wide toy drive, running from December 5th to 19th.
Each morning after announcements, students can deliver their BRAND NEW toy to the Calming Cave. To celebrate their kindness, their names will be written on a heart displayed for all of Kuehnle to see. Let’s work together to make this season bright for everyone! 🌟
We invite parents to join their children for our Winter Classroom Parties on Dec. 20 from 10:00 to 10:45 AM. All activities and food will be generously provided by our Kuehnle PTO, so there is no need to bring any treats. In alignment with KISD policies, outside treats cannot be distributed to ensure the safety of all students, especially those with allergies.
For early dismissal, parents must sign their children out directly with their homeroom teacher and receive an exit ticket (one ticket per child). Please note that each child must be signed out with their own homeroom teacher. To ensure a smooth and secure process, parents should have their ID ready for verification. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone!

We truly appreciate seeing our former students, but we must firmly request that intermediate and high school students not visit Kuehnle during lunch. Attendance is crucial, and we wholeheartedly support the initiatives of other campuses in this regard. If a student is unable to attend their own school due to health issues, it is important for them to stay home for their own well-being. Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of all our Koalas.
We 💗 Our Kuehnle Volunteers!
Be a Kuehnle volunteer! We offer many ways for parents and community members to volunteer such as parent readers, Watch Dog Dads, helping hands and much more.
Ensuring the safety of our students is our top priority. Having our volunteers complete a background check is one of many ways that we assure safety and security in our schools.
All volunteers must submit a new application each school year
