We hope that everyone enjoyed making memories at the 2022 Preston County Buckwheat Festival!
Just a reminder that there will be no school for students tomorrow, Monday, October 3rd. It is a staff development day for employees.
We look forward to seeing everyone by 7:30AM TUESDAY morning!
Attention KES Families:
If you have not already done so, please fill out the Online Student Information Form for the 2022-2023 school year! The form can be accessed at 22-23 Online Student Information Form (office.com)
If the Acceptable Use Policy in this form had not been completed prior to October 1st, your child’s Internet and network privileges have been turned off.
Please stop by or contact Miss Kim in the Main Office if you need assistance.
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 2-hour early out on Thursday, we are switching our lunch menu on Wednesday and Thursday. Popcorn chicken and mashed potato bowl will be tomorrow while Pepperoni Rolls will be on Thursday.

Buckwheat Festival School Day Parade Update for KES Students
Spot: 53 Behind Squires Football & Cheerleaders
Line Up: No later than 1:30PM
Start: Parade begins @ 2PM
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.
Just a reminder that KES Students are invited to walk in the Buckwheat Festival School Day Parade on Friday, September 30th. Anyone interested needs to return the orange form sent home (if you haven’t already done so) tomorrow, September 23rd.
Attention KES Families: Parent Pick-Up will NOT be located on the Fireman's Field next week, September 26-30th, due to the Buckwheat Festival. Alternate plans will be forthcoming.

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.
