Welcome to the Kelso C-7 Family...Anna Wagner!!!

She is a Kelso C7 alumni 💙💙 and graduate of Scott City High School. She received her bachelors degree from Southeast Missouri University and recently earned her masters degree from William Woods University, focusing on reading instruction.
Mrs. Wagner will be the fifth grade homeroom teacher. She has spent the past three years at Sikeston School District, teaching third grade.
From Mrs. Wagner, "I’m excited to work at Kelso C7 because this school and community mean a lot to me! I have lived in New Hamburg all my life and I am a former Falcon! I am grateful for the opportunity to come back and help these students learn and grow! My favorite thing about Kelso C7 is the close knit family- like atmosphere!
One of my favorite quotes- Excellence is not being the best, it is doing your best. -unknown "
We are beyond excited to welcome home, Mrs. Anna Wagner!!


MAP Testing Begins tomorrow for grades 3-8!
To jump start the excitement, Friday afternoon we honored the students that earned proficient or advanced achievement levels during Spring 2021 with a medal ceremony. We are so proud of our students and their hard work! All of our students worked so hard and do so well! Check out the district Facebook page for pictures of our awardees.
For some of our families, this is their first time taking the MAP test. Here's some tips to help your student ease into the week:
Encourage your child to do their best. We know that each child has their own abilities, strengths, and areas of struggle. Each child's best may look different.
Get a good night sleep. We know that it is ball season, longer sunny days, and so many many activities, but it is crucial for our students preparation that they get a good night sleep everyday but especially the next two weeks. Every student will not be testing every day but the school will be testing for the next two weeks as a whole.
Eating a good breakfast sets your child up for the energy they need to thrive. If your family doesn't have time in the morning, the district continues to have free lunch and breakfast. Please take advantage of it while it's available. Having a grumbly tummy is hard to concentrate with.
For any students that do not have their headphones at school, please bring them. Students will need headphones for the test.
Parents we need your help. It is important for the classrooms that students arrive on time before the bell (7:55 am). If your child is eating a school breakfast please arrive in time before that so that they didn't eat and be in their classroom by 755.
We appreciate the team effort that allows our school to continue their academic success every day not just during testing. Thank you!!! Good luck to our Falcons testing over the next two weeks!! We are proud of all of your hard work every day! 💙💙

Just a friendly reminder we are dismissing at 2:00 pm today.
There is some uncertainty of the arrival of the storms. If you feel that picking up your child prior to the 2 pm time is best, we understand. We understand that everyone has to do what they feel is best within their schedule to keep their family safe.
If the storm would move in prior to the 2 pm dismissal and there is an active tornado warning during dismissal, we will hold students in the building. If a family is in the parking lot during a dismissal with a warning, please come to the far door for shelter.
Stay safe all!

Tonight's Board Meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 19th at 6 pm.

Good morning all!
As the weather moves in we will continue to watch the timing of it. Right now there is a window between 3 and 4 PM that the storms are expected to hit our area. This creates a problem of dismissal and buses being on the road during the peak of the storm.
To make sure all of our school family makes it home safely Kelso C7 will be dismissing at 2 PM today. Buses will run at that time. This ensures that not only our students but your families and faculty families make it to the safety of our homes and security of one another.
There will be no after school care.
Prayers for safety for all of our school family today.

The Kelso C-7 Board of Education for their regular monthly meeting tonight at 6:00 pm.


Inclement Weather Wednesday 4/13
Looking ahead to tomorrow we are in an elevated risk for inclement weather.
To ensure all of our families make it home safely there will be no afterschool care tomorrow (4/13) or after school activities, i.e. after school detentions.
In the case of hard rain during dismissal, we will revert back to a single car line dismissal, not walking kids through the parking lot but walking them out a couple families at a time as cars pull up.
If the area is under a tornado warning at the time of dismissal, we will not dismiss students at 3:10. We will hold all in the storm shelters at the far into the building. If you find yourself in the parking lot at the time of a tornado warning come to the far door for shelter inside the building.
We pray all the preparation is for nothing, but in the case of an event, we want to ensure we do all we can for the safety of our school family. Stay safe all!
