Attention families walking in today's parade: KES is now on Marshall Street behind the Mon Health float.
Parent pick-ups can park at Lobbs from 12:15 - 12:45 no charge. If you choose to stay to enjoy the festival, it's only $5 to have a "front-row" seat! We are grateful to our good neighbors, the KVFD, Lobbs, and Mr. Etchison for helping us get our children home safely.
Expectations and information about the upcoming professional learning day scheduled for Monday, October 3, 2022 has been sent to all employee K-12 email accounts and is also now posted on all school and the district websites as well.

On Saturday, Oct. 1st if you find your child(ren) has no internet...
Any student, K-12, who does not have the Online Information Form filled out by Saturday will have all internet access cut off. Any student who has a NO on their AUP section of that form will also be shut off. This is county policy that is required by state policy for federal funding. These accounts will be turned back on as the student information form is filled out online.
The link to the form is found at prestonboe.com in the scrolling picture section entitled, "Parent Homework".
If you do not have internet at your home you may call the school secretary and give the information over the phone to them.

Due to the setup on the Buckwheat Festival grounds we will have a temporary change to our Parent Pickup Procedures for this week only. Parents will be asked to park and line up at the gym door in front of the crosswalk. Parents will be asked to sign students out and show photo ID at the door. Students will then meet parents at the next door down. We apologize for any inconvenience and continue working to maintain the safety of the children.
