Dear Kelso C-7 Families,
Due to continued illness, Kelso C-7 will be closed Friday, January 31. We appreciate your understanding and hope everyone takes this time to rest and recover. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday!
Homework & AMI Packets:
Please return completed homework and AMI packets when students return. The completed AMI packets will count for student attendance on Tuesday, January 28th, and Wednesday, January 29th.
Make-Up Day Adjustments:
In reviewing our calendar, we realized an oversight in the assigned make-up days. As a result:
March 19th will now be a make-up day.
May 13th will now be a full school day.
May 14th will be a noon dismissal for summer break.
Thank you for your support and cooperation. Stay well, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday!
Due to ongoing illness, school will be closed on Thursday, January 30. This is not an AMI day, but the missed day will be made up on May 14.
We will continue to monitor illness levels throughout the day on Thursday to determine whether closure will be necessary on Friday, January 31. Our priority is the health and well-being of our students and staff, and we appreciate your cooperation as we assess the situation.
Offices will be open today (1/29) and tomorrow (1/30) from 8 am - 2 pm for families to pick up remaining absentee and AMI work.
If your child has tested positive for Flu A or is experiencing symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, cough, sore throat, congestion, or fatigue, please email Nurse Burger at monicab@kelsoc-7.k12.mo.us or Dr. Kim Burger at kburger8@kelsoc-7.k12.mo.us. This information will help us make an informed decision regarding Friday’s schedule.
We also encourage families to take this time to finish any outstanding AMI work from previous days and to prioritize rest and recovery.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Stay well!
Dr. Burger
📣Weekly Spotlight📣
We had several amazing Positive Office Referrals this week! Congrats to our kids for making the good decisions! We are proud of you!
🐾Fozzie Friday🐾
Fozzie was able to welcome some new students to school the last few weeks. Here is one of our newest Falcons, with a first grader who was happy to take him to my office to meet Fozzie!
Also, Fozzie has been showered with new toys to have in the office and he LOVES playing with them. Mr Ted was hoping the toy squirrel would make Fozzie become a hunting dog....but I'm not so sure that will happen💙😂
Last, Fozzie sure likes taking his naps at school. He has a routine:
🐾Arrive at school
🐾Walk the building after the bell rings
🐾Treat Time
🐾Nap Time
🐾Walk the building, see students and teachers
🐾Treat Time
🐾Nap Time......(this is off and on all afternoon)
🐾Time to go home!
Fozzie visits different classrooms each day, and we squeeze that in somewhere between his naps💙
Have a GREAT Weekend, Falcons!
