A Message from the Principal:

March 3, 2025


Greetings Kootenai Families, 


I can hardly wait to share all we have in store for the month of March! We are kicking off this first week with Read Across America Week, where we are celebrating the LOVE OF READING across our school. Reading is a gift that lasts a lifetime! It strengthens our minds, fuels our creativity, and helps us connect with the world around us 🥰


In addition, in just two short weeks (Friday, March 14th) we will host one of my favorite days of the year, STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES! During conferences, your child will lead you through his/her classroom to show off all of their hard work, growth, and progress so far this school year. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to acknowledge the hard work your child puts forth day after day.


In addition, we’ve already started REGISTRATION for the upcoming school year! This is INCREDIBLY important since our class sizes have grown. Please save your child’s spot for next year by completing online registration (CLICK HERE). In addition, we will also be hosting the KINDERGARTEN ROUND-UP on Tuesday, March 25th (details on pg. 4 of our newsletter, linked below). 



As always, please check out our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) for updates, pictures, and additional information! Also, to view our full March Newsletter, please CLICK HERE


In gratitude, 

Summer Tigert, Principal

SEE - TELL - NOW

All schools in Lake Pend Oreille School District utilize See, Tell, Now! -- a Student Threat Reporting System. The anonymous tip line is staffed by trained technicians who receive and evaluate tips 24/7. The tips are screened for accuracy and severity, then assigned to school points of contact or law enforcement, if applicable.
