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.
Kettle Falls School District will have a 2 hour late start today.
There will be no developmental preschool, and the ELC will open for daycare at normal time. ECEAP students at the ELC will follow the 2 hour school late start.
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.
