Message from Kim
As we celebrate National Principal's Month and Disability Awareness Month, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of our principals and staff at the Medical Lake School District. Their dedication to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment for all students is truly inspiring.
Our principals play a crucial role in fostering a culture of belonging, where every student feels valued and supported. They work tirelessly to ensure that our schools are places where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We also want to highlight the outstanding work of our staff who support our students with disabilities. Their commitment to providing personalized instruction that is engaging, challenging, and relevant is essential to helping these students reach their full potential. Through their efforts, we can ensure that our Medical Lake Promise of foster a safe and supportive learning environment through a culture of belonging is fulfilled.
As we look to the future, we are committed to providing hope and a vision for Every Student, Every Day. From our earliest learners to beyond the graduation stage, our goal is to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life. We are confident that with the continued dedication of our principals, staff, and community, we can achieve this goal.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our schools and students.
