Kellogg Joint School District

Happy Spring Break! School resumes April 6th!

Our team spent valuable time learning and growing together as we welcomed Cathy Collier from the Bureau of Education and Research. Staff from Title I, Special Education, and Kindergarten classrooms came together to strengthen their skills in delivering highly targeted reading interventions for our youngest learners in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Investing in our educators means investing in student success and we’re excited to see these strategies in action as we continue supporting every child on their path to becoming a confident reader. 📚

There will be a KSD Board of Trustees workshop to specifically discuss the upcoming supplemental levy election on Monday, March 23rd at 6PM in the Pinehurst Elementary Cafeteria. These workshops are the most meaningful way to engage in the process of educating our community to the importance of supplemental levy funding and we encourage community members to be active participants in this process.

Due to many requests from vendors, presenters and students, we are rescheduling the Silver Valley Career Fair for Thursday May 7th, 2026 7:30AM- 11:30AM..

Our attendance numbers dipped a bit this week as several illnesses made their way through some of our schools. We’re wishing a quick recovery to the students, staff, and families who are under the weather — rest up and take care of yourselves. As we head toward the end of third quarter and spring break just a few weeks away, we look forward to welcoming everyone back healthy and ready to finish the quarter strong!

Remember! Clocks spring forward on Sunday, March 8th!

Cupid made a stop at KHS on Thursday! 💌

Rachael Krusemark’s homeroom brought back the “old school” Valentine’s party vibes, complete with handwritten cards, sweet treats, and plenty of smiles. It was pretty special to see these “big kids” light up while reading their valentines and enjoying time together. Sometimes the simple traditions really are the best ones.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we want to share our love and heartfelt gratitude with the entire KSD community. Thank you for the support, encouragement, and care you show our students and staff all year long. We are so thankful to be part of such a strong community. ❤️💜 #levyfunded

As we head into Presidents’ Day weekend, we hope our students and staff enjoy a well-deserved long weekend filled with rest and relaxation. 💛
The stretch between now and Spring Break at the end of March is an important one, and we’re excited to come back refreshed and ready to finish strong. Enjoy the break, recharge, and we’ll see everyone back on Tuesday, February 17th ready to tackle what’s ahead!
