Principal Walkabout

Winter has finally arrived!  Please review the backside of the Cougar Tracks for the information and procedures pertaining to school closures due to weather. 

We love to have parents and guests visit Kila School however please remember to let the office know if you are planning on taking any pictures of students.  Some of our families do not wish their children to be photographed without parental permission.  This includes pictures in which students may only appear in the background.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

PLEASE READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

This information is about school closure procedures for Kila School.

Please read and keep this information to refer to should Kila School

need to close due to bad weather conditions. IN THE CASE OF

BAD WEATHER, TUNE RADIOS TO THE FOLLOWING LOCAL RADIO STATIONS FOR THE INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL CLOSURES: KOF1 1180 AM OR BEE BROADCASTING, B98.5, 106.3 OR 105.1 FM. These radio stations will broadcast all school closures starting at 6:00 AM in the morning. KILA SCHOOL WILL CLOSE WHEN KALISPELL HIGH SCHOOLS CLOSE. IF BUS ROUTE 210 (the Kila high school bus route) IS CANCELLED, THEN KILA SCHOOL WILL CLOSE. THERE WILL BE NO DELAYED STARTS OR EARLY RELEASES AT ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN FLATHEAD VALLEY. If the Roads are not safe for buses, then it is not safe to put children and staff on the roads in cars. We are concerned with weather conditions in the Kila area; other areas of the valley may be experiencing different conditions and not close schools.

School closure is a difficult decision to make but must err on the side of safety for all involved. School days can be made up, lives cannot. Families, students, and staff are our primary concern.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
