If you see or hear anything out of place related to safety and security of persons or property on or around our schools or the district, please immediately notify local authorities. Also, please notify the school Principal or email the district office at safekeppel@keppel.k12.ca.us if you have information about individuals who may be involved in these unlawful acts so that our Keppel students do not experience the impacts of unnecessary destruction. Thank you.
