We’d love for you to join us on Wednesday, May 14 at 3:15 PM in the Elementary School Commons for our Stories of Kake Listening Party! This is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of student voices, community stories, and the beauty of Keex’ Kwáan. Our elementary students will perform original poems about Kake, and our high school students will share sneak previews from their interviews for A Piece of Kake, our very own podcast project. Expect powerful performances, storytelling, audio previews—and yes, there will be food!

Good morning KCSD families! This week, the only afterschool programming will be Library hours for students who need some time to do homework. This is for 6th-12th grade students only., from 3pm-6pm. There is no bus service. Also a reminder that we will have the color run on Saturday, May 17th at 11 am! Reminders will be sent out later in the week as well, but please plan on joining us for this fun community event!

Good morning! Due to rain, the Color Run is postponed to next Sat. for safety and fun. Sleepover for students still on tonight. Stay tuned for updates!

Good morning everyone! As we can see, it's VERY rainy today. Since the color for the color run doesn't really work in the rain, we are going to postpone the 5k until next Saturday. This event has been a major community event for ten years, and we want to make sure that everyone is safe and has fun, and that families and community members can participate too! We will still have the sleepover for the students in the boys and girls run programs tonight though!!! (If your student is attending, they received that info this week at school) We will see you all next Saturday and we will keep everyone updated!!!

Hello KCSD families! We have had some concern about the moose problem with the Color Run tomorrow. We have contacted Fish and Game and they said they didn't have any wildlife troopers available to send to Kake, but they advised us to have people use loudspeakers at our color throwing stations and run in groups, as well as have a car follow the runners. We already had planned on implementing those ideas to keep our kids safe, and we will have people patrolling the running path. We do still plan to have the color run, rain or shine, so please come and join us tomorrow at 11 am, starting at the community hall!

**Moose Alert** We’ve received several reports of an aggressive moose in the area. For student safety, we recommend that students either ride the bus or be picked up by an adult rather than walking home.

Don't forget! This Saturday, May 10th is the Color Run!! Join us for a fun 5k to support the kids in the afterschool running programs! All ages welcome, but under 12 needs to run with a running buddy! We will start at 11 am at the community hall, so meet us there! The students in the Boys Run and Girls Run programs will also be taking home information about the 5k and the sleepover today, so if you are a parent of a 3rd-5th grader in the program, be on the lookout for more info! We can't wait to see you there!

AK STAR Makeup Testing Update Makeup sessions for students who missed AK STAR testing this week will begin Monday instead of Wednesday. Please make sure students are present and ready to test if they still need to complete any portions. Thank you

Hello KCSD families! We will not have after school program for the rest of the week--> from Wednesday, April 9th-Friday, April 11th . Have a great testing week and see you all on Monday!!!

Dear Families, Just a quick reminder that our statewide testing window begins tomorrow. It’s important that students are well rested, and arrive on time each day. They will have a hot breakfast ready for them at 8:00 am to help them feel their best. These assessments help us understand how students are doing and where we can best support them. We really need every student here and ready to go. Your support in making that happen means a lot. Thank you for being such an important part of your child’s success.
