Kettle Falls School District

We’re soaking up the sunshine and making memories at the Early Learning Center! From library story time to bike riding adventures and plenty of outdoor fun, our days are full of smiles and learning. Our school-agers recently celebrated teacher birthdays with a festive Hawaiian Day 🌺🌴—what a blast! We’re also diving into fun learning experiences, including Spanish lessons that have everyone excited to try something new! There’s never a dull moment at the ELC this summer! 🚲📚🎉

A sweet surprise on a sunny day! ☀️🍦 Our amazing first grade teachers arranged for Jimbo’s Ice Cream to treat students during our recent Park Day. The cold treats were the perfect way to stay cool and make the day extra special!

🏥 We’re teaming up with NEW Health to offer sports physicals and immunizations before school starts! This is a great opportunity to check those important items off your to-do list and make sure your student is ready for the year ahead. 📌 See the flyer for details on how to register your student.

Kettle Falls Administrators Engage in Professional Learning Throughout the year, Kettle Falls School District administrators have been actively engaged in high-quality professional development to strengthen leadership practices, support staff, and improve student outcomes across all schools. District leaders have participated in a variety of training opportunities, including the AWSP Launching Leadership series, which supports and develops school leaders through learning focused on instructional leadership, time management, and systems thinking. Administrators have also attended Character Strong trainings, which emphasize cultivating positive school culture, fostering strong relationships, and embedding social-emotional learning into everyday practices. To cap the school year, in the final weeks of June, administrators participated in the AWSP/WASA Summer Conference and leadership coaching through The Breakthrough Coach. These ongoing professional learning experiences ensure that the Kettle Falls leadership team stays aligned, energized, and equipped to meet the evolving needs of our students, our school, and our community. Nice work team! Pictured left: KFES Principal Brennan McGee working with another administrator at AWSP Launching Leadership series.

🌟 Exciting news from our classrooms! 🌟 Last spring, I applied to be part of a group of early learning educators participating in the Money Savvy program. This fall, we received our curriculum, and now our students are diving into fun, hands-on lessons about money—how it’s used, the importance of saving, and making smart choices! 💰✨ The best part? Each child will take home their very own piggy bank to continue their learning at home. 🐷💵 It’s been amazing to see their excitement and understanding grow!
