Welcome Back!

I am very proud to be in the position to welcome our students and staff to KES and the 2011-2012 school year. As I meet with our teachers and so many great families, the anticipation experienced by all shows me that KES is a great place for kids, teachers, and families.

I have met teachers that love their work. They come with a positive attitude seeking to continue to improve and become the best educators possible. They are looking forward to building connections with students and working tirelessly to help them achieve academically and personally.

Our kids will know this. It is our goal that every student knows AT LEAST one adult in our building truly cares about them. Students who are connected learn and experience personal growth. They also have more fun.

Family involvement is also a key contributor to student success. Our parents can participate by consistently communicating through conferences, phone, emails, attending open house September 15th, playing a role in school improvement, and volunteering in a variety of ways.

KES is a great place because of all the people who care about being here every day. Our students, families, staff, aides, cooks, custodians, and others make KES a place where kids learn, enjoy life, grow, and succeed.

I look forward to doing my best to fulfill my role in helping to make all these great things happen.
