Brookings-Harbor School District 17-C

Kalmiopsis Elementary

There are currently no announcements.

We are Kalmiopsis Elementary, but you can call us K-School. The primary goal of our school is to ensure that all our students have a strong grasp of academics that will benefit them not only in their educational pursuits, but their future employment. Our faculty provides a safe environment that encourages emotional growth, physical development and responsible behavior in a way that fosters individual worth and dignity.

The education of our students is a group effort. Parents, the community, teachers, support staff and administrators are all involved in helping students in their academic achievements.

Communication is the key to your child's success. Please feel free to ask questions, give input or just stop by.

COMMON CORE STANDARDS
Common Core Standards are here. Students will be assessed using the Smarter Balanced Assessment beginning the Spring of 2015. For answers to commonly asked questions please check out the links below.

From Mrs. Darger: My class visited historic sites in Brookings on Monday including a home built for Mr. & Mrs. Brookings in 1912 and the Central Building in the center of town. Students were complimented on two separate occasions for their excellent behavior. One proud teacher, here.

Kids enjoy drumming with the Indian Ed instructor.

We (the students in Room 47) tested whether cabbage juice is an acid or a base using vinegar, 7-Up, baking soda solution, distilled water, and of course cabbage juice.

We noticed that the vinegar turned light red, distilled water stayed the same color, baking soda turned a bluish greenish, lemon juice turned a neon pink, dish detergent turned green and 7-Up purple. If the item stayed the same color it would be a base and if the color
changed, like the vinegar, it is an acid.
