Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science
We are a K – 5th Grade School
Mission: Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science will educate the whole child through integrated arts and science to nurture meaningful learning.
Vision: A kaleidoscope reflects the many ways of thinking that are the foundation of the KSAS model in which each of the arts, as well as inquiry science, are lenses to explore and understand the world.
KSAS engages the whole child–building creativity, critical thinking, deeper understandings, and intellectual habits of mind. Through the commitment of the KSAS community, students reach their full potential and become adults who value and support the arts and sciences, live enriched lives, continue to engage in social action, and contribute to the world around them.
Collaboration creates a lens for understanding the world, producing global citizens, who exercise persistence and self-discipline and who value and support creative critical thinking developed through engagement with arts and science.

Principal
Hi Kaleidoscope Families,
I’m Marcie McLendon, and I am so happy to be part of the Kaleidoscope family! This is my 24th year in education, and I still love what I do! Prior to becoming an administrator, I taught special education at high school, middle school, and elementary levels before spending most of my teaching career in first grade.
As a principal, I believe my most important responsibility is ensuring our school is a safe place for everyone. When children feel safe, loved, and valued, they are ready to learn and grow. I have a special passion for literacy because there is nothing more rewarding than watching a child learn to read. When a child becomes a confident reader, a whole new world opens to them, and they begin to realize just how much they can accomplish. That is what makes education so special to me!
I think a school should feel like family, and I want every child who walks through our doors to know they are loved, valued, and capable of amazing things. I look forward to getting to know each of you and making wonderful memories together at Kaleidoscope!
Your proud principal,
Marcie McLendon
