For Parents

Welcome to Kettle Lake Elementary!

Welcome to Kettle Lake Elementary, where we are committed to creating a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.

Our dedicated teachers and staff work together to provide engaging learning experiences while building strong relationships with students and families. We believe that working together is an important part of helping every child reach their full potential.

The Kettle Lake Promise

At Kettle Lake, we encourage our students to be Kettle Cool every day! Our Kettle Lake Promise reminds students of the importance of making positive choices and treating others with kindness and respect.

I know the way, and I can show the way.

I am safe. I am responsible. I am kind.

I am Kettle Cool!

Family & Community Involvement

Families are an important part of our Kettle Lake community! We encourage parents and guardians to get involved through classroom volunteering, school activities, and our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

Our PTO supports a variety of events and activities throughout the school year that bring our school community together.

We look forward to working with our families to make Kettle Lake a great place for every student!

Student Handbooks

The CCS District Student Handbook provides district-wide information, policies, procedures, and expectations for all students and families. Each school also publishes a supplemental building handbook with information specific to that school, including building procedures, expectations, and programs.

Together, the District Student Handbook and your school’s building handbook serve as the official guide for students and families.

Annual Handbook Acknowledgement
Parents/guardians are required to review both the District Student Handbook and their student’s building handbook each school year. As part of the annual PowerSchool registration process, parents/guardians must acknowledge that they have read and understand the information provided in the handbooks.
