From the Desk of the Principal
Spring has sprung! I want to thank you all for trusting our school and staff to love and support your child. Starting April 27 through the end of the year, I will be gone from KSD to help care for my family. My duties and responsibilities will be shared by the Administration Team and the Emery Hall staff. If you need support or help, please contact your child's teacher and/or Val Watson.
I know that our students will make significant progress during this final quarter. What a joy it has been to have our Jackrabbits at school IN PERSON for the past year!
Take care!

Scholastic Book Fair will be at KSD next week from April 19 to April 23rd!
Here are some links to look at to prepare your child for the book fair! We will be using the e-wallet feature, which allows parents to put a certain amount of money for their child to spend at the fair. Please see video below for more information about e-wallet!
KSD will still be closed to parents and other visitors during the book fair so please check out the fair online and order books for your child! Pass along the website to grandparents and friends to order online too!
KSD Endowment has given $5.00 to each of our KSD students to spend at the Book Fair. Thank you!!
