The Teacher Appreciation committee is hard at work planning a week of celebrating our amazing staff!

Afternoon Pick-up

If you are going to let your student(s) play on the playground after school, please move your car to an open spot outside of the fence so the gate can be closed at or after 3:45pm.

The Golden Rule: Treat Others as You Would Like to Be Treated

Please encourage your student(s) to make appropriate choices at school and on the bus by reviewing with them our school wide expectations that they agreed upon at the beginning of the school year by signing their student handbook and communicate that you always have the same expectations for them when they are attending school.

Thank you for all you do. No one plays a more important role in the educational success of a student than their family!

Everyone have a great week and shine your Kellar pride!
