Communications
At KIPP Texas being connected to our students’ families is important. Your KIPPster’s school will reach out to the email or phone number you have provided with specific information about how they will communicate with you throughout the year. KIPP Texas will use the text messaging platform, School Messenger. To participate in this free service, simply sign up for alerts. Some schools also use email newsletters, or apps such as “Flyer Connect”, and other methods to communicate regularly. Please contact your school if you need to update your email or phone number so that we can ensure you receive all family communications.
Stay connected via social media. KIPP Texas will continue to post updates on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Research shows that if students feel positive, they perform better academically. If they like school more, they perform better.
After a year of challenges and changes, KIPP Texas is committed to ensuring that students feel welcome, safe and connected to their teachers and classmates as they return to the classroom. We look forward to working collaboratively with families to provide academically excellent instruction that focuses on the individual success and achievement of every student.
