It’s hard to believe we’re already in October! Fall is in full swing, and our students are settled into routines, learning, and showing kindness all around campus. I continue to be so proud of the positive energy our Eagles bring to school each day.

As the weather changes and cold season begins, please remember to call or email our office if your child will be absent or ill. If your child’s go-home routine changes, please notify the office before 2:00 PM so we can ensure everyone gets home safely.

This month, we’re looking forward to our Fall Festival 🎃 and other seasonal activities that bring fun and connection to our school community. We’re also focusing on kindness and belonging through our House system, and it’s been wonderful to see students cheering for one another and showing Eagle pride.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership and support. KLE truly is a special place because of our students, families, and staff working together!

Every generation has its own funny phrases. When I was in elementary school, (way back in the 1900's), we said things like “no duh” and “gag me with a spoon!” Today’s students have their own versions — like “6–7” and "skibbity toilet". While it might sound silly or make us laugh, we’re using it as an opportunity to talk about code switching — knowing when and where certain words or phrases fit best. At school, we practice using our school language — kind, respectful words that help everyone learn and feel comfortable. Please take a moment to chat with your child about using phrases like “6–7” at the right time and place, and about following adult directions so everyone can stay focused and have fun learning together. Thanks for your partnership in keeping our school family positive and respectful!

Hello KLE families

As we continue learning our Bullying prevention curriculum take a moment to discuss with your child the 3 R's of bullying prevention.

Recognize- we see and know bullying is happening.

Report- We find a trusted adult to report, "I would like to report bullying".

Refuse- We stand straight, face the person, and say "stop that is bullying".

If you have questions or would like additional information feel free to contact me.

Have a great weekend
