Summer is in full swing!
First Day of School: Tuesday, September 3rd, is a HALF DAY (8:25 am - 11:48 am) for students.
Check Out These Spectacular Open House Events!
Open House: Wednesday, August 28th, 6:00 - 7:00 pm.
You can bring in school supplies and drop them off in the classroom to help lighten the load for students on the first day. Please place the name of your child on the bag(s).

Two vendors will be onsite in the back parking lot. Food will be available to purchase during and after the open house. Picnic tables are spread out around the playground and under our outdoor learning area for your convenience. Feel free to spend time on the playground conversing with each other, making new friends, eating, and watching the kids playing.
Transportation: Please visit our Bus Stop Locator on the website for bus info.
Box Tops for Education
Please consider downloading the Box Tops app to your phone and selecting Keewahdin Elementary as the school to earn cash for PTA. Scan your paper receipts or submit your electronic receipts at the touch of a button to earn a few cents here and there. The few cents add up!
Now is the time to download the app as sales have begun to occur for back to school items.
Noon Hour Supervisor
We are in need of a Noon Hour Supervisor at Keewahdin. Start pay is $11.22 an hour for 2.5 hours a day. Candidates may apply here.
Building Update
Due to our growth over the past few years and the increase in services for our students we have run out of space in our building. We are installing a temporary modular unit in the back to house some of our service providers. This will free up space inside the building for a needed classroom.
Lego Team Coach Needed
We are in need of a coach or coaches for our Lego Team. The Lego team consists of up to 10 students in grades 4 & 5. The team meets after school on days of your choice in order to prepare for the Lego challenge and competition. The competition takes place on a Saturday. If you are interested in being a coach for the Keewahdin Lego Team, please contact me at clesser@phasd.us
Free Breakfast & Lunch
All Keewahdin students are eligible for a free breakfast and lunch if they wish to have one.
All students are welcome to bring their own lunch.
