Update from Principal Takata

Dear Eagle Families,


Welcome to November! It's been a fast few months as we have kicked off the 2024-25 school year. Tomorrow brings an end to our conference week. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and meet with us here at Kitsap Lake.


Next week, we will celebrate and honor Veterans Day. Ms. Dodge, our music teacher, will be hosting an assembly to honor the day with our students. Our classrooms have also been learning about Veterans Day. You can see some fun pictures of work created by our second graders in Mrs. Youngker and Mrs. Cummings classes below.


Bingo Night Update-We have moved Bingo Night. The new date is December 12th. More information to follow.


Sincerely,
Principal Takata

Transportation Changes

Make sure you communicate transportation changes through the office. Often times, if an email is sent to the teacher and they are out, we do not get the message. Calling the office before 2pm will help make sure the information is received. Thanks for your help.
