Week of February 8th-12th is Bus Driver Appreciation. We love each one of you and appreciate ALL that you do for our students! Being a bus driver is a very important job to our school, students and families; we could never survive at Koontz without YOU!! Thank you thank you!!

It’s been quiet over here, but we’re still chuggin away at virtual learning. This week, we’ve talked lots about plot and different types of conflict in literature. Today, they shared plot diagrams that they created from Harry Potter books, Bud, Not Buddy, and a few others. 📚

Mark Your Calendars today!! Koontz PTO Fun Foods Night at Chipotle, Tuesday, February 2nd from 4pm-8pm. The flyer is a MUST for Koontz PTO to get 33% of sales, so please DON'T forget it or show it on your phone for our school to get credit!!

Update School Hours December 14-18, all students remain under Plan B however, school will operate on a regular school schedule, 7:45AM-2:45PM. This plan will continue when students return from Winter Break on Jan. 4th. Doors will open for students at 7:15

Bud, Not Buddy suitcase presentations last week! We saw pets, family photos, trophies, stuffed animals, books, & tons of other prized possessions. So weird to have them do this project virtually, but just as meaningful as ever!

Thank you to our wonderful cafeteria staff. They are hands down some of the best cooks, hardworking, kindhearted and thoughtful people who make sure no child ever goes hungry while at school. And like that's not enough, they got a 100% on their sanitation grade!!
