We are keeping the momentum rolling....Enrollment Part 2
NEW Students: If your family is new to the district, please stop by and see us sooner than later. This will give us a head start on getting your child's records from their prior school AND we get to meet you sooner!
Online registration: If you have not emailed Mrs. Pobst your email address with a request to have online registration - its not too late! Her email address is kpobst@kelsoc-7.k12.mo.us. If we do not receive your email requesting access, we will prepare a paper packet for your family the first week of school.
If you have requested online registration, expect your welcome email with the link to come no sooner than Tuesday morning. We are working diligently to make the process as smooth as possible for our families.

I can't wait to start the school year! I am excited about the new opportunities I get to experience with the kids. Thanks to the PTO and other private donations, the students will start ukuleles and other music technologies this year! Can't wait to see what they accomplish!!!!! LETS GO FALCONS!!!
💙Welcome our newest Falcon, Mr. Jenkins!!💙
Beep! Beep! Today let's talk bus routes.
Our bus routes will run very similar to last year. The times may vary some depending on any additions or changes to riders.
Here's where we need your help. Please email me (Dr. Burger) if there are any changes (need to ride, change of address, no longer riding) to your bus transportation. My email is kburger8@kelsoc-7.k12.mo.us.
We will also be available during Back to School Night Thursday to help answer any questions.
As always, thank you for your help and support to making this another amazing year at Kelso C-7 School!
We've got exciting news for all families! It's enrollment time! This year it is NEW and IMPROVED!
Kelso C-7 School is transitioning to a new student information system, called Teacher Ease. One of the features the program offers is online registration/enrollment. If you would like to participate, please email Mrs. Kristy Pobst with the preferred email address, stating you would like to begin the online registration process.
Once we get your email into Teacher Ease, you will receive an email from Teacher Ease welcoming you with a link for families to set up a user name and password and begin the online enrollment. We may still have a few items for you to fill on out on paper, but no more bulky packets if your family opts to participate in online enrollment.
Families that do not participate in online registration, will be sent a traditional packet during the first week of school.
If you are new to the district and have not enrolled, first of all Welcome!! Also, please stop by to see us. There are some additional steps to enroll new students for the first time. Our office is open Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 3:30 pm for the next two weeks until school starts.
We are on the countdown until our hallways are full again with our Falcons! Excited, anxious, nervous, prepared, energized, refreshed...the list of back to school emotions could go on and on. We are ready to see our students and families back in the building!
The Annual Back to School Open House is on the slate for Thursday, August 18th. As we have grown, we have found it more efficient to come in time ranges. It allows us to spend more time with your family! Attached are the times assigned by family last name. First, we ask each family attend an "orientation" with Mrs. Lands and Dr. Burger to see what's ahead for another great year! Then families can travel to classrooms to meet teachers, catch up with their friends, and drop off any school supplies.
The fun doesn't stop there! PTO will be on site selling this year's spirit shirts AND they are sponsoring WAVES DONUTS to bring tasty treats. More details to come on the treats.
See you there!
