Kettle Falls School District

09/01/2026

Our hallways were packed with excited students and families getting ready for a fantastic school year. A special highlight this year: welcoming our Kindergarten families right on Day 1 alongside our 1st–4th graders!

We also want to give a huge THANK YOU to the Kettle Falls Rotary Club for donating a mountain of school supplies. Their generosity ensures every single one of our kids has what they need to start the year strong.

We are so grateful for our community and ready for an awesome year together!

Our Kettle Falls Elementary staff spent time together during Professional Development working on strategies to give our students the best possible school day!

One of our big focuses? Planning intentional social-emotional support and creating predictable routines for when kids come in from recess. Recess is a great time to burn off energy, but transitioning back into class requires a little reset. By building smooth post-recess tasks, we help our students settle in, refocus, and dive back into learning feeling ready and supported.

To practice our own teamwork, staff jumped into a fun challenge called "Selling the Unsellable." Teams had to work together to pitch some pretty unusual items, including a high-tech "team-building clipboard" so heavy-duty it takes three staff members just to open it! (Bonus: you will never lose a sheet of paper again!)

It takes a united team to support our students, and we’re excited for an amazing year ahead together.

🎉 KFMS Back to School BBQ! 🐾

We had a great time welcoming our students and families back to KFMS! Students picked up their schedules, participated in a scavenger hunt, visited their new classrooms, moved into their lockers, and—most importantly—had a great time reconnecting with friends after summer break!
It was wonderful to see our hallways filled with students and families again. We are excited for an amazing year ahead!

Welcome back, Bulldogs! 💙🐾

A huge thank you to Colville Toyota for their incredible generosity! 🚗🍎

As we gear up for the new school year, Colville Toyota donated three $150 classroom gift cards to help our teachers prepare their classrooms and stock up on essential supplies for our students.

Because great communities truly begin with great teachers, support like this makes a lasting impact on our schools. Thank you, Colville Toyota, for being a true "Community at Heart" and living up to your name as the small-town dealership with the BIG, BIG heart! ❤️✏️

💙💛 KFMS Family Character Dare – Sweet Surprise! 💛💙

Our first Family Character Dare of the school year, Sweet Surprise, was included in the Welcome Back letter that was mailed home. Take a few minutes to read it with your child and challenge everyone in your family to participate!

This month's challenge is simple: Surprise a family member with something you know they'll love. It could be their favorite candy or snack, a handwritten note of encouragement, a funny doodle, or another small act of kindness that lets them know you're thinking of them.

These simple acts of kindness help strengthen relationships and remind us that even the smallest gestures can make someone's day. When students return to school, we'll begin the year by sharing the sweet surprises they created with their families!

Let's kick off the school year by spreading kindness—one sweet surprise at a time!

✏️ School Supply Lists Are Here! 🎒

Back-to-school shopping just got a little easier! KFMS has greatly simplified our school supply lists, keeping them focused on the basics.

Many classroom supplies will be collected by teachers and distributed as needed, and we're no longer requiring large binders. Instead, KFMS will provide the smaller classroom binders students will use throughout the year.

Families should have received a back-to-school letter in the mail with school supply lists and additional information for the upcoming school year. If you have any questions or did not receive your letter, please contact the KFMS office.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon! 💙💛
