Strategic Meetings

Duval County Public Schools and the School Board have completed a draft Strategic Plan.  Three community meetings will be held to give DCPS parents and community members a chance to fully review the plan of action for our schools and weigh-in on what's in it:  

Ø  Beaches and Southside  
6 p.m. Wednesday, February 27
Fletcher High School Cafeteria
Ø  Westside  
6 p.m. Thursday, March 7
Robert E. Lee High School Cafeteria
Ø  Northside

The school district is committed to refining the strategic plan with your input before it goes to a vote in less than two months. 

Call for Volunteers

2012-2013 Yearbook

We need photos for the yearbook! Have you taken pictures of your child's classroom or special events/field trips? Please forward those to ktepta@gmail.com!

Also, don't forget about 5th grade dedications. Additional forms can be obtained in the front office. These are due early MARCH!

PTA Nominating Committee

We need someone to serve on the Nominating Committee that will nominate our 2013-2014 PTA Executive Board. This commitment will involve meeting together one time to go over Board applications and then put forth a slate to be voted on at the May PTA General Meeting. If you are a current PTA member and can serve in this way, please respond to ktepta@gmail.com. This is an EASY and simple way to have an impact on KTE!

Mark Your Calendars!

Thursday, April 4th from 5:30-8:30pm we will have a Spirit Night Fundraiser at ADVENTURE LANDING! Tickets will go on sale soon for $15 and include 3 hours of unlimited go-karts, laser tag and golf!

KTE Awards Fundraiser

KTE families, our school needs your help in raising funds for student awards.  Our students participate in special year-end events celebrating their FAIR (K-2) and FCAT (3-5) testing success.  The funds are provided through various fundraising efforts throughout the year.  Our most recent fundraiser is the Peel to Save cards.  The cards are $10 each and KTE keeps $5.  The goal is to raise $500.  The fundraiser ends March 15th.  Order forms were sent home with your student a couple of weeks ago.  If you cannot locate the order form, then send in your money in a sealed envelope marked with your student's name, the number of Peel to Save cards you are purchasing and the name of your child's teacher.  Cards will be distributed once the funds are collected.  Thank you for your support of your child's awards events!
