PTA Planning Meeting

Are you leading an upcoming PTA event? Would you like to take on a more active role in our PTA? If so, please plan to attend this meeting! We will discuss events that are coming up in the Spring semester, including our STEM Night!

Meet at the 2-5 campus media center.

Technology Safety Workshop

Get smart about smartphones!

Are you planning to purchase or upgrade a phone or tablet this holiday season? Join special guest Dr. Patti Agatson to learn how to protect your devices. At this workshop, you will be able to get help installing software to help keep your child safe. You'll also have an opportunity to talk with other parents about their experiences with devices.

The KSE Foundation will gladly accept donations of your old devices. Click here for more details on the Donate Your Device program.

Holiday Gifts for our Teachers & Staff

Drumroll please...

We are excited to announce that the PTA collected almost $13,000 for the KSE Holiday gift fund. These funds were pooled and divided so that every full time employee received a $100 Kroger gift card and every part time employee received a $50 gift card! This is the first year that our gift fund included all of KSE's employees. We are so happy to be able to recognize EVERYONE who helps make KSE the best place to be.

Thank you to everyone that donated! As you can see, pooling the donations made a big impact. For those that didn’t see the announcement on Facebook, we also had an "angel family" step in to double the donations made on one day. This family's generosity really boosted the amount we collected.

The PTA will host an end of year gift fund in the spring that will work the same way. With that fund, we will be able to recognize all the hard work our teachers and staff put into this school year.

A Note from our Counselors: Internet Safety

A Note From Our Counselors:

As the holidays approach, many of us may be considering technology purchases. Here are a few links that you might find helpful!

The scary truth about too much screen time.

Does your child love fortnite? Then this article is for you!

And here's a great site to bookmark- you can read about everything from apps to new movie releases: https://www.commonsensemedia.org

Our own Cobb County School District Instructional Technology department has a plethora of information on their site about Digital Citizenship. CCSD Prevention Intervention also has lots of great links.

Finally, don’t forget to review the CCSD Family information Guide.

In addition to reading the articles, be sure to mark your calendar for the PTA's Technology Safety Workshop on January 14th. Click here for details on the workshop.

Science Fair, STEM Night & STEM Blog

Two great events are coming up soon: Science Fair on Sat. January 12th and STEM Night on Thurs. January 24th.

STEM Night details are posted here. (PS, we need volunteers!)

Science Fair help sessions are offered on Wednesday afternoons.

Are you interested in creating a science fair project, but just don’t know where to start? We are holding science fair help sessions for 3rd-5th grade students on Wednesdays afterschool on 11/14, 11/28, 12/5, and 12/12. We will work on their project research and help define their essential question.

Students may attend one or multiple sessions but must sign up each week for a slot. Signups are first come, first serve for first 15 students signed up. We will release a new signup a week ahead of time and will be posted on our STEM website (https://ksestem.weebly.com/).

If you have any questions, email jill.ward@cobbk12.org.

Our STEM teachers have a new blog, with details about the Science Fair, STEM Family Challenges, and much more! Check it out: https://ksestem.weebly.com/
