October is National Bullying Prevention Month! This month KISD will emphasize the many ways that together we can choose kindness. When we spread kindness, we change the culture of our schools and help put a stop to bullying.

October is National Principals Month, and we’re proud to celebrate the leaders at the heart of our Killeen ISD schools.

Join us in thanking our principals for the many ways they lead, encourage and serve. Their work is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we move forward together.

Killeen ISD is closely monitoring weather conditions expected across our area throughout the rest of the week, including the potential for heavy rainfall and localized flooding.

At this time, schools will operate on their regular schedules, with no changes to the instructional day.

Depending on the timing and severity of the weather, road conditions may result in transportation delays. To prevent students from standing outside longer than needed, families of bus riders are encouraged to download and use the SMART Tag Parent App to receive notifications and estimated bus arrival times.

Campuses will also monitor conditions closely during dismissal. If conditions are unsafe for students who walk or bike home, they may be held temporarily on campus until it is safe to dismiss them.

We are also monitoring conditions for any impact on extracurricular activities and events. If changes are necessary, we will communicate directly with families.

If you previously opted out of SMS messages, text START to 98900 from the phone number listed in your child’s file to opt back in.

The safety of our students and staff remains our priority. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and communicate any changes as needed. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and support.

✨ Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Minerva Cotton
For Patterson Middle School Campus Instructional Specialist Minerva Cotton, Hispanic Heritage Month is about celebrating the culture, traditions and values that have shaped her life.
Family is at the heart of that story. One of Minerva’s most treasured memories is traveling to Puerto Rico last May to celebrate her abuela’s 100th birthday, a milestone that reminded her of the strength, love and legacy passed from one generation to the next. 🇵🇷

Her heritage also fuels her passion for supporting Emergent Bilingual students.
“I want to honor language and culture as assets and help students feel valued, confident and proud of who they are.”

Whether it is sharing arroz con pollo, enjoying music, dancing a little merengue or carrying forward the lessons of her family, Minerva says her heritage continues to shape how she leads with compassion, celebrates diversity and empowers others to embrace their own stories.

📸 KISD students and staff, we want to share your story, too! Tell us what Hispanic heritage means to you and how it has shaped your perspective, goals or career path.
