Coffee Truck

 

Our wonderful PTO will be providing us with a coffee truck on Thursday. Please go outside to the playground between 7-9 AM to get a hot beverage. If you don’t have prep before 9AM, please make sure you get here early enough to get your beverage before 7:40. We don’t have anyone who can “deliver” beverages to classrooms.  

New Teacher Document

 

As we continue to welcome new teachers into our Keystone family, we want to make sure they feel fully supported from day one. To help with this, we are creating this document that outlines basic directions and important “how-to’s” for navigating everyday school routines and procedures such as recording assembly presentations, EdCite, Go Guardian, etc.

This resource will serve as a quick reference guide, so our new colleagues don’t feel overwhelmed trying to figure out the little things on their own. From understanding daily operations to locating key resources, the goal is to provide clarity and confidence as they settle into their roles.

Thank you for helping us foster a culture where every teacher—new or veteran—feels supported, valued, and set up for success. Together, we make Keystone a place where everyone can thrive.

Big shout out to Alex Roberts for creating it!

Vending Machine

The PTO would love your feedback on what you’d like to see in the parent room vending machine! Please take a moment to complete this form and share your suggestions.
