We had a huge attendance win this past school year at KES! Our school's chronic absenteeism rate is down by 8.4% and we under the state goal of 15% for chronic absenteeism! We have also seen some great gains in percentages of students who were absent for 5% of the school year or less -- this year was 56.5% of our school population compared to last year's 39% -- that is a 17% increase! Our 3rd graders (rising 4th graders) made the greatest gains with their chronic absenteeism rate dropping from 23.2% last year to 8.3% this year -- which is an improvement of 14.9%! Way to go! Thank you, parents, for working with school staff to ensure that your children were at school on time and ready to learn! We're excited for what this upcoming school year has in store for us as we continue our KES attendance incentives!

Congratulations to our kindergarten through 5th grade students who have worked incredibly hard during Summer Intervention! These last three weeks, our students have focused on mastering reading and math skills and building confidence as learners! We are so proud of their dedication, perseverance, and growth. Their commitment to learning has paid off, and we can't wait to see them continue to succeed in the coming school year! Today, we celebrated their last day of Summer Intervention with some Independence Day fun and festivities. It was a wonderful way to recognize all of their hard work while enjoying time together with friends and teachers!
