Congratulations, Keeler students and families, on another successful school year!
As we reflect on the many experiences that made this year memorable, we are grateful for the opportunities our students had to learn, grow, and connect.
From meaningful presentations and field trips to school-wide celebrations of learning, the year was filled with moments that strengthened our school community. None of this would have been possible without the support and dedication of our incredible students, staff, and families.
We wish all of our Keeler families a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the fall for another exciting year of learning.
The information below is intended to help families prepare for the 2026–27 school year:
