Happy Thursday fantastic family members,

I hope you all are as excited as we are about returning to school in the Fall. We look forward to another great year of teaching and learning. The picture above was taken on the last day of school last year. Our teachers & staff have missed our students and are now looking forward to their return to learning. Newsletters are typically delivered and posted on Sundays via school messenger and the school website but we just wanted to make sure we communicated the upcoming orientation dates and times, so you are receiving a special Thursday edition. :) We have both student and parent orientations available in August. Please sign up to attend the orientation if you plan on attending, but an RSVP is not required. It helps with our planning for the event. New to Kealing 8th graders can join the virtual pm student orientation and all parents can join any of the parent sessions. For all virtual sessions please check the website 30 minutes prior to the event for the event specific link. Thank you so much for choosing Kealing Middle School and Austin ISD as your child's primary education provider, we are happy to have you!

#BEGREATmentality.

Hey Hornets, as we wrap up this school year we are looking to the start of next year. We need to start getting an idea of who is interested in playing Volleyball or Football for Kealing next year as 7th and 8th graders. Please complete the Google Form so we will be able to contact you with information about these sports. Practice starts the first week of school for both sports, so it is important that we get this info out over the summer. If you have questions, please complete the form and a coach will contact you to answer those questions.
