Kicking of Teacher Appreciation Week with Principal's Day!!
And boy is Kelso C-7 is blessed with the BEST! Mrs. Lands is our faith-filled principal that leads our Falcons with grace, compassion, and a whole lot of sparkle! She ensures that students and staff alike are loved, heard, and the center of whatever it is she is tackling. Her impact will be felt well beyond her time at Kelso C-7.
Please help me share some love and gratitude to our own principal, Mrs. Debbie Lands!
Here's our week ahead!
MAP Testing begins this week! Our kids are ready to rock the test. They have been preparing all year for this! We need our school family's help to make sure our students are at their best the day of the test. Getting a good night's sleep, a healthy breakfast, arriving on time, and a little extra word of encouragement in the morning are just a few ways we can help our Falcons be even more prepared for the MAP. We appreciate all the help we can provide for our students.
A special thanks to PTO for preparing daily treats for our test takers!!
Have a great week Kelso C-7 Family!

Week of April 3 -7 At A Glance
School Closing at 1:00 pm, Friday, 3/31/23
Kelso C-7 school will be closing at 1:00 PM, Friday, March 31 to to allow all of our school family to arrive at home safety ahead of the incoming severe weather. Our region is at an elevated risk for extreme conditions for a large timeframe this afternoon into the evening.
This is an ongoing and fluid situation. If we find that the storm is moving more quickly, we will dismiss earlier than 1:00 pm. If something changes, we will communicate that as soon as it is available.
Buses will run as normal. There will be no after school care.
If you need to communicate a change of how your child is getting home, please call the main office (545.3357). It is okay to message your child's teacher, however, they may not get the message in a timely matter, be teaching, or even be absent. Its essential that any changes go through the office in these circumstances.
We appreciate your help to keep all of our Kelso C-7 family safe.
You know it's a good day when you start off with this many positive office referrals!!
Look at these amazing Falcons helping and caring for others. We are so so proud of each and every one of these students! Keep up the amazing acts of service!
We are looking for our team members during the 2023-24 school year! Kelso C-7 School is currently accepting applications for the following positions:
Early Childhood Classroom Teacher
Our incoming Kindergarten class is a record breaker! As a result, to ensure that our incoming Falcons have the best possible learning conditions, the District will have their first ever two class grade level. Our team is looking for an additional Kindergarten teacher to work alongside Mrs. Hahn.
Middle School Math
Mrs. Julie Hahs technically retired last year, but came out of retirement under critical shortage. We are accepting applications for this position. These are big shoes to fill. In the case of no qualified applicants, Mrs. Hahs has committed to returning. (Thank you!)
As always, we are always accepting applications for substitute teachers, bus drivers, cooks, nurses-basically all positions.

Here's what fun is ahead for our Falcons this week!!
We also have just a bit of clarification. On April 6th we had originally planned a "Lunch Bunch." However, with our campus still under construction, we are going to postpone the event until next school year. We look forward to seeing all of our families then!
A little late for the actual Thank a Farmer day, but it's never to late to Thank a Farmer! We are so grateful for the Scott County Farm Bureau Board for their gift to our school library!
We are proud of our community's agricultural background and continued support!!
Have you thanked a farmer recently?? THANK YOU!!!
