Principal’s Message

Dear Keene’s Crossing Families,

Our staff is committed to helping every student feel valued, supported and challenged to grow. Through our theme, TEAM KCE – Stronger Together, we will continue building strong relationships and celebrating student success.

It is hard to believe that the first nine weeks is coming to a close and it is almost time for report cards for Quarter 1!  We are excited to recognize students through Honor Roll. Students in grades 2–5 who earn straight A’s in their graded academic subjects and an S or O in citizenship/conduct will be part of our new A-Team. We will also celebrate students who earn A/B Honor Roll and recognize students for their growth, effort and character.

Families play an important role in that success. Please encourage your child to read every day, make daily attendance and arriving on time a priority, and stay connected through ParentSquare and connecting with your child’s teacher.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a wonderful year of learning and growth together.

TEAM KCE – Stronger Together!

Kristin Abel
Principal
Keene’s Crossing Elementary School
