Open House

We look forward to meeting all our KES families at Open House on Thursday, September 6th from 6:30 - 7:45.

It is a great opportunity to meet teachers, tour the school, and learn about core curriculum.  Students will have a chance to run the obstacle course (tickets will be handed out in school that day), pick out their favorites at the Book Fair, and enjoy complimentary cookies!

Open House is a great opportunity for kids, parents, and teachers to build and strengthen relationships and communication.

MAP Testing

MAP testing will take place at KES between August 27th and September 7th.  During this testing window, each student will participate in one Math and one Reading assessment.

The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test is taken on a computer.  Students answer questions and show mastery.  The program continues to raise the expectations until students reach their highest current level.

Teachers receive almost instant feedback on student scores and use that data to target specific growth goals for individual kids.  MAP has proven to be an excellent assessment that allows teachers and kids to better focus on specific learning needs.

Welcome... and Welcome Back

We have been meeting many new families and seeing some old friends the past two weeks. We appreciate so many families coming in to register. It has been great seeing you all. We invite any families that have not yet registered to come in Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Everyone is excited for our first half day on Wednesday! We are looking forward to another great year at KES!
