Principal's Message
Hello Klahowya Families and Students,
Last night our Middle School Eagles won their football game against Fairview. Nice job players! Track and Field is participating in the State tournament this weekend in Yakima. Good Luck! This week our students did a wonderful job performing in their ASL and Steel Pan Band concerts. Last Friday's Talent Show was terrific too. Great job students, it was nice to see you perform and showcase your talents.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 25, is our Senior Prom at Gold Mountain Golf Club. Have a great time Seniors and be safe! There is no school on Monday, May 27th, in honor of Memorial Day. As mentioned last week, mark your calendars for May 29th, Eagle Scholars starts at 5 p.m. and Senior Awards are at 6:30 p.m. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Next week we will continue our Smarter Balanced Testing for students in grades 6,7,8,10 and 11. Please see the newsletter for more information. Be sure to check the KSS calendar for all of the upcoming end of year activities.
GO EAGLES!

Remember that the weather is getting nicer, and classes go outside. Calling ahead will avoid trying to track down a student that might be at lunch, an assembly or outside for PE. Students who do not check out through attendance are TRUANT.
Extended Absences: (3 or more days)
If your student will be gone for an extended period, please notify the Attendance Office several days ahead of time, if possible. The Attendance Office will provide a form for the student to take around to their teachers.
Please make sure that your student is contacting their teacher(s) through Google Classroom for assignments.
