Cougar Connection - School Supplies, Fall Clubs & Back-to-School Night

So far, 76 donors have contributed $6,495 toward our $9,000 goal to purchase bulk classroom supplies for all of our more than 400 Kimball students.
Thank you to all that have donated!!

Kimball PTSA bought supplies in bulk so every child had what they needed on day one, regardless of a family's ability to pay. 

Help us close the $2,505 gap! Contribute $30-$60 per student, or whatever your able to!, to support our Kimball Cougars! 

To help strengthen community and improve communication, the PTSA has launched class WhatsApp groups. Join yours to keep up on school news like schedule reminders, volunteer needs, and class celebrations. 

Join your class chat by opening the join page below and then pick your student's teacher. 

As always, please keep the conversation respectful, protect student privacy, and keep invite links inside your class. This will help keep the group a trusted space.

Registration is now open for Fall After-School Clubs! 

Clubs run October 19–December 17 on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays from dismissal until 3:45 PM.

Fall club options include:

• Chess, Game Design & Coding, and Engineering & Robotics
• KidFit, Jump Club, and Sports

All programs are pay-what-you-can, and no student is turned away for financial reasons. Scholarships and payment plans are available at checkout. Check out full schedules and grade levels on the club registration page. Registration closes October 9th.

The PTSA has launched a new student-friendly Daily Dashboard designed to help our Cougars build agency and practice reading skills at home.

• Morning updates: Check the local weather forecast, daily lunch menu, and school announcements.
• Afternoon updates: Get a preview of tomorrow’s schedule, reminders, and special activities.

Bookmark the page on your family tablet or computer, and encourage your student to check in when they are getting ready for the day.

Thank you to everyone who joined our recent webinars on Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS)! The coalition has formally submitted a proposal to Seattle Public Schools recommending a phased, district-wide implementation and will meet with SPS leadership in the coming weeks.

Here are two easy ways to keep this momentum going:

• Co-sign the proposal: Add your name to show district leadership that our community supports CPS.
• Share the recordings: Pass along the intro webinar and deeper dive session to educators and families.
