Update from Kuna's Superintendent: Thank you for attending conferences; Red Ribbon Week & more

Also on the Nov. 5 ballot, is the Kuna School District supplemental levy. One of the concerns we heard after the failure of the May 2024 levy was people didn’t know about it. 

We appreciate members of a parent and community levy committee and local businesses that are helping share information through signs, social media posts, phone calls, and conversations. We also are thankful to the City of Kuna for allowing us to share information through water bills.

Last week, we listened and answered questions at the Kuna Chamber of Commerce and Kuna Senior Citizens Center. We welcome the opportunity to come and answer questions. Please reach out to ksdcommunications@kunaschools.org

Our schools are celebrating Red Ribbon Week! These activities help encourage our young people to make healthy choices and promote drug and alcohol abuse prevention.

I want to thank the City of Kuna for its partnership through sharing Opioid settlement funds to support these efforts in our schools. And, thanks to parent and community volunteers who will “chalk the walk” - writing positive messages on the sidewalks around our schools - to encourage our students.

We invite our community to help celebrate those who make a difference in our district. Here’s who you told us about during the first quarter of the school year! 

Want to recognize someone? Here’s the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KWA202425

Ross - Teri Husted and Brenna Erickson: "As the Pre K program has moved to Ross, both Brenna and Teri have adjusted to many changes and supported staff through them. They both connect with students so well, whether the 3-4 year olds or the 4th and 5th graders, and they bring heart and work ethic to the office at Ross. They are understanding with parents, supportive colleagues with staff, and all around amazing women who give and care so deeply for those around them."

Kuna High School - Angela Mcinerney: She is helpful and kind and nice and the best teacher that I have had this year and I am happy that I have her.

Reed Elementary - Michele Moore: We've only been at the school for a year, but we're thoroughly impressed with Principal Michele Moore. She truly knows her students. During our meeting, she was well-informed about our child and provided valuable insights. Our students are in excellent hands at Reed Elementary.
