I hope that you and your family have enjoyed the summer. I am excited to start a new school year here at K-Beach!

We will have our Meet the Teacher Night on Monday, August 19th. This is a great time to bring in your class supplies, meet the teacher, and tour the building.

I look forward to welcoming our students back to the building and starting our new school year on Wednesday, August 21st. Our school staff is here to support students and work with families. We care about our Caribou!

Our school staff looks forward to working with you to support and celebrate your child's success.

I am excited for another successful school year, and I am honored to partner with you in your child’s education! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

The new school year is right around the corner! We will be kicking off the year with New Student and Kindergarten Registration on August 8th & 9th , 9:00AM to 11:00AM and 12:00PM to 2:00PM. The process for registration will go quickly if you complete the online portion. We'll see you soon!
