This is an official invitation to be an active part of your child's school! That's right! The doors are back open and we want our parents back in our building! We will have a parent volunteer organizational meeting tomorrow, 9/12, at 5:30 in the computer lab followed by PTA at 6 and our Local School Improvement Council meeting at 7. Come when you can; leave when you need to. Just come out and join us! It doesn't matter if school was an awful place when you were a kid. We want to make school a happy place for EVERYONE now!
One additional announcement: KES Families, it is important to follow safety guidelines put into place during afternoon pick-up of students. Please talk with your children about the importance of staying in line even after arriving at the Fireman's Field. If students are running out of line, they risk putting themselves in the front of moving vehicles from rows that have already been loaded and dismissed.
In addition, there have been several questions about dismissal procedures for Parent Pick-Up and Price Street Walkers during the week of the Buckwheat Festival. We are working to put a plan in place. More information will be released ASAP.
Greetings, KES Families! This is just a reminder that, whenever your child is absent for any reason--illness, doctor/dental procedure, family emergency, funeral, etc.--he/she MUST bring either a doctor and/or parent note UPON RETURN TO SCHOOL in order for the absence to be excused. Students are permitted 5 parent notes per semester.
I just received word that
those riding Adam Foleys bus that were taking the kids to VFW will need to do so again today. We anticipate a normal run tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

One additional announcement:
Families, this is just a friendly reminder that you should be dropping your children off at their designated outside areas in the mornings if you choose to walk with them. Staff is more than happy to assist your children while walking inside of our buildings. Our effort is to keep everyone safe, and the less traffic we have throughout our buildings in the mornings, the better able we are to do this. If you need to see Miss Kim, the nurse, or principal, please let someone know so you can wait at the Main Office to do so. Thanks!
