From the staff and students of Koelsch Elementary School, we welcome you! We are proud to say that Koelsch Elementary has been part of the Boise School District for over 50 years. Our school has consistently provided outstanding educational opportunities for children throughout our community. Koelsch Elementary is a great place for all students to learn.

Koelsch Elementary serves a wide diversity of students from all over the world. Our enrollment is approximately 350 students. Currently, we have over 100 English Language Learners (ELL) speaking 19 different languages.

Community support is essential in helping to provide the best opportunities for students to achieve and maximize their learning. Koelsch School has an active PTO and Volunteer Program providing great support to staff and students. Please contact our administrative assistant Crystal Prindle for more information at 854-5300. Please feel free to visit and hope you enjoy our school. Our educational program is dependent on positive staff and parent relations.

Boise School Levy Facts
Tuesday, March 13, 2012

What has the Boise School District done to reduce spending?
To deal with massive cuts in funding from the state Legislature, the District has made
accountable cuts totaling $22 million over the past three years, including $6 million in administrative
positions such as assistant principals and school counselors and instituting unpaid furlough days
for staff to save another $2.1 million. Those cuts shielded the classrooms, which have been
unaffected. 100 percent of the money raised through the levy would go toward preserving class
sizes and educational programs, not for administrative costs.

ATTENTION:
ALL PARENTS OF OPEN ENROLLED STUDENTS!
All OPEN ENROLLED students that are attending a Boise District school
MUST RE-APPLY for enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year by
FEBRUARY 1, 2012.
Please stop by the office and ask for the Open Enrollment
CONTINUATION FORM.
