Week 10 Snapshots

Thank you to our Kindergarten parent volunteers who have spent countless hours bringing our kindergarten teachers' vision to life in transforming our Discovery Lab into a small city for our kindergarten students to learn and explore the world through play!  It's so fun to see them creating, writing, designing, and playing through real world experiences!

Snacks Available for Purchase in the Cafeteria 

In addition to the regular lunch, the cafeteria will be selling snack items every Wednesday, starting on October 9th, until winter break. 

Kinder and 1st grade students will have their choice of snack in the lunch count. 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students may choose snacks as they go through the line, and those who bring their lunch may join the line to purchase snack items, as well.   

• If you DO want your child to purchase snacks, please make sure that students have money in their account to purchase snacks.  Please also communicate your expectations to your child. 

• If you DO NOT wish for your student to have the option to purchase snacks, please log onto your Sodexo account and select the preference to NOT allow the purchase snacks which will alert the cafeteria system.

Alternative Lunch for Negative Account Balances

Beginning October 21, 2024, once a student's meal account reaches or exceeds a negative balance of $25, a well-balanced alternative meal will be provided at no charge to the student. Our cafeteria manager is in communication with families when there are negative balances. 

For breakfast, the meal will consist of a sunbutter & jelly sandwich, fresh fruit of the day, and a student's choice of milk. For lunch, the meal will consist of a turkey & cheese sandwich, fresh fruit of the day, and a student's choice of milk. For households, who have completed the necessary district documentation for students with special dietary restrictions, those needs will be met when and if given the alternative meal. Students are not allowed to charge al a carte, snacks, drinks, extras, and/or second meals if they do not have enough money for those items at the time of service.

If you would like more information, this information was shared at the September 26 Board Meeting (2:35:30), and is posted to the Keller ISD Child Nutrition website. 

Reminder for Cars in the Bus Line in the Morning

If you arrive before 7:25 and pull into the drop off line on the K-1-2 side (north parking lot), please leave room for our busses to come in and drop off first.  We ask that you would please wait in the driveway parallel to Harrel just behind the light poles before coming around the curve. At 7:25, you are welcomed to pull up into the curved area for drop-off.  Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring an efficient drop off! 

How to Report an Absence

While we appreciate a phone call letting us know your child is absent, with the updated Attendance procedures, we will now request a written explanation of absences for each day they were absent.  

This may be an email sent to Tyler.Lamon@kellerisd.net or a written note that is sent upon your child's return.  An absence is considered to be a partial absence any time that a student leaves early or arrives later than the first 15 minutes of the day and parents may utilze a parent excuse for these if there is not documentation. Please see the Keller ISD Attendance 101 for more information. https://www.kellerisd.net/students-families/resources/students-families-resources/attendance-truancy
