Welcome Back

Dear Lexington Families,

It’s almost here…the 2024-2025 school year and we are looking forward to seeing you all! We hope you are enjoying these final days of summer. Our Eagle staff are busy planning for your Eagles to arrive. As we strive for a successful transition from summer break to the busy school year a great tip is to:

Gradually adjust your student’s schedule. Ease your Eagle(s) into their school-year routine a week or 2 before school starts. Set early bed and wake up times, and eat meals around the same time they would at school. Encourage them to get their first day outfit, coat, and bag ready the night before. Please write your child’s name on sweatshirts, jackets, backpack, etc… Our lost and found tends to fill up quickly.

This will be our best year yet. Together we are empowering all students to fulfill their dreams and goals towards college, career, and community readiness.

VOLUNTEER PROCESS

Family Access is a web-based tool that allows parents and guardians access to student information, such as attendance, discipline, health and vaccination information, and student and family demographics. In some cases, you will also be able to see grades, classroom assignments, and classroom messages.

Not all Kelso schools are using all features of Family Access at this time, and not all teachers are using the online grade book.

Family Access is provided free as a service of Kelso School District. Your use of the Family Access website is voluntary. For security reasons, please contact your student’s school for information and to get your username and password to access this service.

We welcome you to Family Access and hope you will find this application an important part of your ongoing relationship with Kelso Public School.

• Kelso School District will operate under a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program this year. This allows all students one complete breakfast and one complete lunch free of charge each day school is in session without collecting school meal applications. Prices: Breakfast- Free Lunch- Free Milk Only- $0.50
