Reminder: We would like to remind our families that the Keppel Union School District will have a change in the release time for students on Wednesdays. Effective January 12, 2022, all TK-8th grade students will be released early every Wednesday in order for teachers to engage in collaborative discussion around data, lesson planning, student needs, and much more.

SCHOOL SAFETY UPDATE: The district is aware of media and social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.) reports regarding the potential for mass school violence across the nation on Friday, December 17, 2021. Our school/district staff will be on high alert. We ask that students and their families, staff, or any member of the community having information on any credible threat contact the Palmdale Sheriff Department at 661-272-2400 or for emergencies call 911, in addition to immediately reporting the information to the school/district office.
