Greetings, Keppel Union Learning Community. In the spirit of sharing gratitude, I would like to humbly thank our students and their families for their ongoing support of teaching, leading, and learning in Keppel. In our short time together since I joined the district as your Superintendent in July, we are making progress through the opportunities of COVID-19 and have withstood the Bobcat Fire, an earthquake, and our first power outage! We appreciate your patience, trust, and willingness to pull together and again, I THANK YOU.
I am proud of the collective efforts of our staff. We have provided for the nutritional, academic, and social emotional needs of students. Also, we continue to prioritize health and overall well-being, in addition to supporting all that distance learning entails, while preparing for the re-opening of schools when safe and practicable. We also may take pride in the District’s completion of the Bus Depot and the Lake Los Angeles Wellness Center. I hope you will get a chance to read the two articles that have been published in the Antelope Valley Press within the past two weeks highlighting the Board of Trustees’ and Dr. Zepeda’s legacy projects. (Please click on the hyperlinks provided.) These two incredible facilities will assist in providing top notch extended services that complement teaching, leading, and learning.
Lastly, I would like to wish you and your families a memorable beginning to the holiday season. May your vacation days provide you with many opportunities to pause, reflect, and celebrate the goodness in the simple things that surround you and the joy that your family and friends bring you. I am honored and privileged to be able to support “Opening Doors to Infinite Possibilities” in Keppel alongside all members of the Keppel learning community. Wishing you a memorable season of giving thanks.
Sincerely and with gratitude,
Dr. Jacqueline Cardenas

Saludos, Comunidad de Aprendizaje de la Unión Keppel. En el espíritu de compartir gratitud, me gustaría agradecer humildemente a nuestros estudiantes y a sus familias por su continuo apoyo a la enseñanza, la dirección y el aprendizaje en Keppel. En nuestro corto tiempo juntos desde que me uní al distrito como su Superintendente en julio, estamos progresando a través de las oportunidades de COVID-19 y hemos resistido el incendio de Bobcat, un terremoto, y nuestro primer corte de energía! Apreciamos su paciencia, confianza y voluntad de unirse y de nuevo, se lo agradezco.
Estoy orgullosa de los esfuerzos colectivos de nuestro personal. Hemos provisto las necesidades nutricionales, académicas y socio-emocionales de los estudiantes. También, continuamos priorizando la salud y el bienestar general, además de apoyar todo lo que la educación a distancia implica, mientras nos preparamos para la reapertura de las escuelas cuando sea seguro y práctico. También podemos enorgullecernos de que el Distrito haya completado la Terminal de Autobuses y el Centro de Bienestar del Lago de Los Ángeles. Espero que tengan la oportunidad de leer los dos artículos que se han publicado en el Antelope Valley Press en las últimas dos semanas destacando los proyectos de legado del Consejo de Administración y del Dr. Zepeda. (Por favor, haga clic en los hipervínculos proporcionados.) Estas dos increíbles instalaciones ayudarán a proporcionar servicios extendidos de primera clase que complementan la enseñanza, el liderazgo y el aprendizaje.
Por último, me gustaría desearles a ustedes y a sus familias un memorable comienzo de la temporada de vacaciones. Que sus días de vacaciones les proporcionen muchas oportunidades para hacer una pausa, reflexionar y celebrar la bondad de las cosas sencillas que les rodean y la alegría que les traen su familia y amigos. Me siento honrada y privilegiada de poder apoyar "Abriendo Puertas a Posibilidades Infinitas" en Keppel junto con todos los miembros de la comunidad de aprendizaje de Keppel. Les deseo una temporada memorable de agradecimiento.
Sinceramente y con gratitud,
La Dra. Jacqueline Cárdenas
