Coyote Family,

As the days are quickly winding down, I want to thank students, parents and staff members for making the 2009-2010 school year a success. We have just concluded MSP testing at the middle school which I am happy to report went smoothly, considering we were piloting the state’s new on-line testing format. A reminder that fees and fines need to be paid, or payment plan arrangements need to be made with our office by years’ end (this includes negative balances in our food service program). Students with outstanding debt will not receive their end of the year report card unless they are current on all fees.

I want to thank our athletic director Frank Reno, coaches and athletes for an amazing year for Kittitas athletics. Sending multiple teams to the state tournament and solidifying ourselves as one of the league’s premier schools. I want to thank parents for their continual support of Kittitas athletics. I also want to recognize our facilities manager, Joe Paul, for his continual effort in making our home athletic events a positive experience for all involved.

Upcoming end of the year events:

5/25 -26                Kittitas Drama Production: Cases of Mistaken Identity / 7:30 pm

5/26                       MS Trimester Reward: Safeco Field / Mariners vs. Detroit (12:40pm)

Lastly, I would like to thank our seniors. You have left a lasting mark on the Kittitas community. Thank you for all you have done for our school. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. You will be missed!

Have a restful and relaxing summer………
