💛💙 Happy Substitute Teacher Appreciation Day! 💙💛
Today we celebrate some of the most dependable, caring, and flexible members of our school family — our amazing substitute teachers.
Whether they step in with short notice or plan ahead to support our classrooms, they bring patience, kindness, and a steady presence that keeps learning moving forward. Our substitutes don’t just “fill in” — they lift up, support, and care for our students and staff every single time they walk through our doors.
We are truly grateful for each of you who chooses to be part of our Kelso C-7 family. Thank you for loving our kids, supporting our teachers, and being an essential part of what makes our school so special.
💛 You are appreciated more than you know. 💙

📣 We did it, Falcon Family!
We are thrilled to announce that the Kelso C‑7 School District has achieved an outstanding 91.6% score on the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP 6) Annual Performance Report (APR)! 🎉🦅
(Yes—that’s a 91.6 %!)
✅ What is the APR?
The APR is the annual accountability / reporting measure used by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) through the MSIP 6 system to evaluate how districts are performing and improving over time. It looks at a number of key indicators—such as student achievement on assessments, student growth, graduation rates, attendance, and other practices—to arrive at a composite score that reflects the district’s performance and continuous improvement.
Essentially, it’s a snapshot of how we’re doing—and how we’re growing—as educators, students, families, and a community together.
👉 The full findings are available to view on the DESE website and on the Kelso C-7 website (link in bio).
🎯 Why this matters
This score reflects the collective hard work of our teachers, staff, students, families and community partners.
Achieving a 91.6 % places us firmly in the “fully accredited” range (and approaching “with-distinction”) for Missouri’s accountability model.
It supports our mission every day: safe schools, strong community, academic excellence, and continuous improvement.
👏 Let’s celebrate!
