STUDENT HANDBOOK 

A Message from the Principal:

March 1, 2024


Greetings Kootenai Families! 


I can hardly wait to share all we have in store for the month of March! We’ll kick off the month with Read Across America Week and, one of my favorite days of the year, STUDENT LED CONFERENCES, which will be on Friday, March 15th! 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, this month we kick off REGISTRATION for the upcoming school year! This is INCREDIBLY important as our class sizes have grown. Please save your child’s spot for next year by completing online registration (see details below). 


Lastly, on March 21st we will have our annual McTeacher Night- another fun event for the whole family! Please join us at McDonalds in Ponderay, on 3/21 from 5-7pm, to watch your teachers take your orders and serve you!  🍔 🍟 We also have some exciting family events lined up this month that you won't want to miss. As always, please check out our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) for updates, pictures, and additional information! 


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.
