Ki Charter gave back to the community this holiday season. We donated holiday gifts to San Marcos Head Start. We also partnered with Nosotros la Gente, donating shoes to the San Marcos Treatment Center and the San Marcos community. It felt amazing to bring smiles to others!
Ki Charter welcomes back Corporal Jesse Saavedra of the San Marcos Police Department who returned to provide professional development to our teachers and staff on civilian response to active shooter events (CRASE). This training helps our teachers and staff understand how to respond in an emergency.
Ki Charter was a presenting sponsor for the School Fuel Fill the Sack 5K and Kids Fun Run with many of our staff participating in the run. This was a fun time for a good cause.
Members of the Texas Charter Schools Association enjoyed their visit to Ki Charter and wrote about the experience. A hearty “thank you” to everyone who helped make their visit a success. We were so pleased to be able to show them the heart of our student body and exceptional teaching staff.
Ki Charter is redefining education for a special population of students. Using Pitsco Education’s science and math modules for middle and high school and STEM missions for elementary as a fully-immersed supplement to core courses, students become active, engaged members of the classroom. Read Pitsco article about our programming in the August 2016 issue of Pitsco Network.
We were extremely honored to have Deputy Commissioner of Education A.J. Crabill visit Ki Charter to recognize our staff and our students' efforts in October 2018.
Then Corporal Jesse Saavedra of the San Marcos Police Department joined us for a professional development training geared to keep our students safe, even in active shooter situations.
Community partnerships are part of what make Ki Charter Academy such an innovative and successful educator. We’re always thrilled to welcome a new partnership to our community. Recently, Southside Community Center, a non-profit organization that provides food and shelter for the homeless, joined our team. Through this partnership, our students study for and earn their food handler certification by preparing meals for Southside Community Center patrons. Our students feed over 50 people a day, Monday through Thursday!
