Road Construction on Pate Orr Road
An email was sent on November 13th making our families aware of the upcoming construction to Pate Orr Road. We wanted to post it here as well in case anyone did not see the email.
We will not be making any changes to our dismissal procedures at this time.
The City of Keller has notified us it will be performing construction on South Pate Orr Road beginning Monday, November 13, that will last through April 2024 and will result in the closure of the west side of the road, allowing only northbound one-way traffic. The road will be closed to southbound traffic throughout the construction period, with the exception of local traffic navigating between Keller Parkway and Brookstone Court.
Keller ISD bus routes will be adjusted accordingly. Please be aware of this lengthy road closure if your typical commute involves traveling south down Pate Orr, and expect increased traffic within the area as residents navigate other routes around this closure.
Students can get in the holiday spirit if they choose by participating in the below dress-up days starting December 1st.
If you haven't had a chance, please take a moment to read over the Surface Go Care/Replacement details posted to the Keller ISD website. You will find the link below.

Student Recognition
We love to recognize our students as they continue to grow academically and also in their character. Instead of waiting to celebrate these accomplishments at the end of the year, we like to celebrate each nine weeks their accomplishments! Please see the specific awards given below.
Every 9 weeks we like to recognize students with the following:
Supper Attendance which is a minimum of 95%
AB Honor Roll
A Honor Roll
We also have monthly recognition with the following character awards:
September - Respect
October - Commitment
November - Gratitude
December - Courage
January - Responsibility
February - Kindness
March - Honesty
April - Patience
May - Teacher's Choice
CROSSWALK: In the morning, we ask you to continue to pull up to the second crosswalk where you see staff. If you do not follow this step, safety will be a high concern for students and for staff. Once it hits 7:40 AM, a staff member will then move up to the crosswalk next to the awning. You may then stop and use this crosswalk since there is now a staff member present.
Now that everyone has become familiar with our drop off/pick up lanes, you may choose the outside lane or inside line for drop off. This way, if the outside lane has less cars, you can take advantage of moving forward.
Parents who choose to walk up and meet their students may do so at the West side bike rack or the North side crosswalk. We ask that parents do not come up to the awning area where students and staff are dismissing as this may cause confusion and distracts our teachers from their duties.
