One safety feature that is used by the Kettle Falls School District is the Safe Schools Alert on the Kettle Falls School District website. This innovative reporting tool serves as a crucial component of the district's commitment to creating a secure learning environment for students and staff. The Safe Schools Alert Reporting System is designed to empower students, parents, staff, and community to report safety concerns or incidents quickly and anonymously. This streamlined process allows all stakeholders to play an active role in maintaining a safe and supportive educational atmosphere. Users can report bullying, harassment, suspicious activities, or any other potential threats in a manner that fosters a culture of open communication. Anonymity is a key factor in encouraging honest reporting, and Safe Schools Alert respects this by protecting the identity of those who submit information. Once a report is submitted, designated administrators can assess the situation and take appropriate action, whether it involves intervention, counseling, or collaboration with law enforcement. By embracing the Safe Schools Alert Reporting System, the Kettle Falls School District demonstrates a proactive stance in promoting safety, fostering trust, and creating an environment where students can focus on their education without fear. This robust reporting system not only bolsters security measures but also strengthens the collaborative effort between the school and its community to ensure a safe and nurturing educational experience. You can find the link to the Safe Schools Alert on the Home page of our website.

Benefits of one-to-one technology in schools Incorporating educational technology into education plans, homework, and extracurricular activities has a positive effect on student engagement and participation. Introducing a one-to-one educational technology to our classrooms is a critical part of creating a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. This allows students to participate in school, the same way they participate in their personal and social lives. Students getting familiar with technology has the added benefit of preparing them for a more technology driven world and work environment. Using a one-to-one deployment of tech prepares them by making technology the norm in their daily life at school. One-to-one technology in schools makes a more equitable learning environment, and removes financial inequity as a barrier to learning. It ensures that all students have the resources that they need to receive an education.

The kids in our after school program had a great GOOEY time making colored salt dough. Each student received a recipe and using our math skills we worked together to cut the recipe in half. They then used their sense of touch to decide if their dough was too sticky or to dry and whether they should add more water or more flour. They each chose a color to mix into their dough and the end results were fabulous!

Please join Kettle Falls School District in welcoming the newest member of our team. Sean Kelly has joined us as our new security officer. Most recently, Sean has been supporting our community as a Kettle Falls Police Officer. He will be joining us after the holiday break. He will be primarily working between the elementary school and the middle school; while Matt, our other security officer, will be working primarily between the high school and middle school. However, they both will be supporting all four of our schools, as they will be present in our ELC as well. We are excited to add Sean to our student support systems!

Blessings come in many ways however, when it comes to feeding students and community a home cooked meal for Thanksgiving, it brings much joy to the Food service staff. Between all 3 schools and ELC we served approx.. 870 meals. We couldn’t be more proud of our kitchen staff and all of those who volunteered to help them serve up a wonderful Turkey lunch.

With a winter nip in the air, there is nothing like biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs to warm the day. Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and cheese are served on Wednesdays every week. Middle school students love it.
