Kelso C-7 School District

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 There’s no better way to end the week than with our sweet therapy dog, Fozzie! He’s been busy making his rounds at Kelso C-7, sharing tail wags, snuggles, and plenty of love with our staff. Fozzie loves seeing all of his pals in the building. When he sees them, his job is to first sit before he can be petted. As you can see from these pictures, they loved seeing him as much as he loved seeing them. We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend . 🐾🐾

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 Our furry staff member, Fozzie the therapy dog, had a wonderful week at Kelso C-7. He made his way into most classrooms, spreading joy and calm wherever he went. Students loved seeing him at dismissal as he rolled out in style in his stroller, and of course, he managed to sneak in plenty of naps and treats in between all the love and attention. 💙 We are so thankful to have Fozzie as part of our school family—he’s already making a big difference in the hearts of our students and staff! 🐶🐾 Have a "paw"-some weekend, Falcons!

💛✨ Thankful Thursday ✨💙 As we begin this new school year, my heart is truly full of gratitude. As administrators, we had a vision for how we wanted this year to begin and because of the generosity of our PTO, we were able to make it happen. ✨We were able to partner with The Signal Event Center for beautiful balloon arches and table décor that set the perfect tone for both our teacher inservices and our Back to School Night. ✨We are also thankful for Dippidi Doo Dah Treats, who spoiled our staff with the sweetest dipped goodies. ✨Also, our PTO provided Amazon gift cards for every staff member, as well as Falcon t-shirts for every staff member AND substitute teacher. To our PTO: THANK YOU for VOLUNTEERING your time, love, and energy into Kelso C-7. Because of you, our Falcon family feels encouraged, celebrated, and ready for a wonderful year ahead. 💙💛

🚗 Morning Drop-Off Reminder 😊 To keep our drop-off line running safely and smoothly, we kindly ask all parents: 👉 If your child needs help getting out of the car, please pull into a parking spot first. 👟 You’re welcome to walk your child up to the main school door, but only after parking in a designated spot. This helps us keep traffic flowing and ensures everyone's safety. 💙 Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us start the school day right! 🌞 🚧 Construction Update 🚧 We’re excited to share that work on our construction project is officially beginning! ✅ Car rider procedures in the morning and afternoon will remain the same—no changes are needed. 🚌 Morning buses for high school students: Students will enter through the main doors, walk through the gym, and board the bus from the gym’s exterior doors. 🚶‍♂️ Afternoon buses: High School Students who need to join the car rider line after riding the bus will enter through the gym, exit the main doors, and walk to their car for pickup. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we make these improvements for our school community
