Students, PLEASE check your school gmail accounts using your Chromebook login (let me know if you don't know it). I am going to try to get a group conversation going with all Loowit students so we can communicate with and support one another.
I hope you are all well and staying safe. While school is out, I am committed to supporting you how I can. I am going to post a few more things here and on our Facebook. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to email me at jillane.baros@kelsosd.org or jbaros@kelso.wednet.edu

Levy fact #10: Levy dollars are used to pay for staff, programs, services, and materials not fully funded by the state. #StrongSchoolsStrongerCommunity
The local replacement levy is used to restore, sustain, and enhance curriculum, technology, staffing, and other program costs that the state does not fund.
Don't forget your permission slip for the Humane Society!!
The replacement levy on the February ballot takes the place of the existing levy expiring this year, it is not a new tax. Even with the passage of the replacement levy, school funding tax rates will still be lower than they were in 2017 - 2019.
All buses are on normal routes this afternoon.
