School of Excellence
KLES PTA has enrolled in a year-long application process to become a school of
excellence! This program recognizes and supports the partnership between the PTA and
the school. It is a commitment of excellence to our students, school, and community.
 
Part of the SOE program is focusing on an area of growth. Currently, we are focusing on improving communication related to school curriculum. Be sure to come to the Winter Showcase where parents/guardians can come into the classroom and see what their student is learning.
​
If you would like to be on the SOE committee or have questions, contact Lauren Butler at klesptavp2@gmail.com.
