Thank you to the KISD community for your support during our Elementary School Evacuation & Reunification Drill today. We are proud of the students and staff for making things work very smoothly. As always adjustments can be made and we will do so. Parents this is a good time to go over some safety procedures with your children at home, as a follow up. We would also like to thank Kerens PD, Kerens VFD, First Baptist Church Kerens and volunteers who helped with this safety event for our community's children.

Reminder: KISD Elementary School will be conducting a FULL Evacuation/Reunification drill later today. This does include using buses and leaving the campus. This is just a drill.

If you would like to access your child's school photos this is how you can do it. For those that have already ordered portraits, those will be sent home once the school receives them.

Kerens ISD in conjunction with Navarro County Office of Emergency Management is in the testing phase of emergency radios. These radios can be used for KISD daily communication but most importantly, during an emergency, for direct communication between Local Law Enforcement, OEM and KISD personnel on site, for live information updates. Once, completed this system will be expanded by NC OEM for every ISD in Navarro County.

The Varsity and JV Volleyball games that were scheduled for Saturday morning in Cross Roads have been moved to Friday at 4:30 pm. The Varsity team will play first.

Picture Day is Thursday! Flyers have gone home with everyone but seniors. Everyone Pre-K through Seniors will take pictures. Here is a copy of the flyer if it doesn't make it home.

We are asking that our visitors park in the visitor parking off of Bonner Street. On the homeside of the stadium, we ask that you do not park in the grass at the practice field, or between the parking lot and the fieldhouse. We are going to attempt to allow more handicap parking inside the safety gate. Once that area is full, we will be blocking it off. We are aware that the new fencing is causing some issues, however that has been put up to keep our students and staff safe during the school day. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate the best possible way to park our fans on Thursday and Friday nights. Please do not park in the grass.

Notice: ALL Football games in Dawson tonight (Thursday) have been cancelled. JH and JV
