Good afternoon Cheetah families!

We have officially made it to May. We find ourselves nearing the end of the school year. This is a busy and exciting time of the year.

Next week, we’ll be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week! We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, passion, and hard work of our teachers. Please join us in recognizing and thanking them for the lasting impact they make every day. Take a look below how our students are celebrating each day next week.

Also with so many events going on in May, please be sure to check every week's Cheetah Chatter to get all the important information.

Reminder: Next Friday (5/9) there will be NO school, it is a teacher in-service day.

We also have extra yearbooks available They are $20 and the forms are in our front office if you would like to purchase one.

Lastly, please call the office by 2:30 if there are changes to how your student is getting home. This allows our staff to be able to get the message to the teacher and your student in time.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend ! As always, please reach out if you have any questions.

Hubbard and Ross are wonderful schools, and they are ready to welcome new Timberwolves and Rams next year!

If you are not familiar with these schools, both are small, welcoming places where students are known and supported. Hubbard serves kindergarten through third grade, focusing on strong early learning foundations. Ross serves fourth and fifth graders from Hubbard and Indian Creek, offering engaging academics and opportunities to prepare for middle school. Ross also is a Nationally recognized AVID Showcase School. 

You’ll learn more about both schools at Welcome Nights on Monday. Here are the details:

May 5 |  6:30–7:30 p.m.

Hubbard Elementary (K–3), 311 E. Porter Street

Ross Elementary (4–5), 610 N. School Ave.

We will also share information about open enrollment — the process to request a different school for your child. If approved, families are responsible for transportation.

We expect the open enrollment application will open after the May 13 school board meeting. The deadline to apply would be Friday, May 23.

Answers to some questions we’ve received:

We understand you may have questions, and we’re here to help. Thank you for being part of the Kuna School District.

Sincerely,

Superintendent, Kuna School District

We want to let you know that the Kindergarten Open House has been moved from Wednesday, April 16th, to Wednesday, May 21st. 

The time remains the same, from 2 to 6 p.m. We look forward to meeting you and your child for a tour of the school on May 21.

Our elementary school attendance zones are being reviewed, and final decisions will be made at the May 13th Kuna School Board meeting. 

Although we expect only minor adjustments to the zones, we want to make sure you know which school your child will attend before the Open House.

We also invite you to a Parent University event on Monday, April 28, at 6:30 p.m. at Swan Falls High School. This session is designed to help parents learn more about kindergarten and school and answer any questions you may have.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming your child to kindergarten!

Parents please remember our classes start at 8:50. If students are eating breakfast they need to be here by 8:30 to give them enough time to eat. If student are not in class by 8:50 they will be receiving a tardy on their attendance.

Parents, we do not have adult supervision outside before 8:30am. We also open our doors for breakfast at 8:30am. Please drop your students off at 8:30am and not earlier. With the cold weather, students are having to stand outside, without supervision, and in the cold until 8:30am. Thank you for your help and support.

Please call the office at least an hour ahead of time (2:30pm) if you are picking up your student or changing how they are getting home. This ensures that we have them ready and/or can get the message to them in time.
