Together, we are building a strong foundation for our students’ success, and we are truly grateful for the role each of you plays in this journey.

Message from the Kuehnle Library
Just a friendly reminder: please keep water bottles and library books in separate areas within backpacks. We’ve had several books returned with water damage, and we want to ensure our library books stay in great condition for everyone. Thank you for your help!
School Aged Lunch Visitors
We truly appreciate seeing our former students, but we must firmly request that intermediate and high school students not visit Kuehnle during lunch. Attendance is crucial, and we wholeheartedly support the initiatives of other campuses in this regard. If a student is unable to attend their own school due to health issues, it is important for them to stay home for their own well-being. Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of all our Koalas.
