Staff and students lined the hallways to celebrate their accomplishments and congratulate them as they close one chapter and begin another.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are so proud of all you have achieved and wish you the very best wherever life takes you. Once a Stag, always part of the KES family!

Greetings, Stags! Field Day will proceed as planned tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26th, at the Craig Civic Center! Come dressed and ready to PLAY!
Rainy weather hasn’t slowed down our students in the After School Explorers program! These students recently wrapped up a year-long program dedicated to supporting achievement growth and providing enrichment opportunities for students in kindergarten through fourth grade.
After School Explorers is a federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Center program focused on supporting student success while also strengthening family and community involvement. Throughout the year, students participated in a variety of STEM-related activities, service-based projects, and interactive presentations that helped extend real-world learning beyond the traditional classroom setting.
A special thank you goes to Ms. Susan Daetwyler and her staff for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to making this program such a success for our students. Their efforts continue to create meaningful opportunities and experiences that positively impact our school community!

Today at KES, our students explored the many possibilities their futures can hold during our 2026 Career Day! From learning about unique career paths to hearing firsthand experiences from professionals in a variety of fields, students were engaged, curious, and excited to discover new opportunities for their futures.
A huge thank you to all of our guest presenters for sharing your time, wisdom, and interactive presentations with our students. Your willingness to invest in our school community helped make learning meaningful and memorable!
Special thanks to our school counselor, Mrs. Crystal Pell, for organizing another successful Career Day experience for our students. Opportunities like these help inspire our students to dream big and begin thinking about the many paths available to them!

The students were victorious in every round of yesterday’s kickball games as staff and students squared off to celebrate third and fourth grade’s success in reaching their i-Ready proficiency goals for the 2025-2026 school year!
A fun time was had by all! Thank you to our underclassmen for cheering on the teams and to all staff members who participated to help make this such a memorable experience for our students.
Good things happen when we set goals, work hard, and come together as a school family to achieve them!

Just a reminder that next Friday, May 29th, will be the last day for students in Preston County Schools, and this will be a 2 Hour Early Dismissal Day.
At this time, phone and internet service are down at all district schools and the central office. This issue is suspected to be at WVNet and has been reported to technology officials with the WV Department of Education and our internet provider (Prodigi). We do not yet have an estimated time for restoration of service but are working with the WVDE to expedite this as soon as possible. Updates will be provided once service has been restored. Thank you for your patience.
The “Principal Car Wash” was a SPLASHING success!
These students saved up their STOMP tickets and purchased a special coupon at the STOMP Store just for the chance to get a little soapy while helping scrub down Mrs. Peaslee’s car!
Let’s just say…the car got a good cleaning, and a few students may have gotten washed along the way too!
At KES, following expectations and coming to school truly PAY OFF! We love celebrating students who work hard, make positive choices, and show up each day ready to learn.
Be sure to be at school for the next 7 days…you never know what exciting things might happen next!

Get Ready for Kickball!
Our third and fourth grade students rose to the challenge and knocked it out of the park by meeting their end-of-year iReady proficiency goals in BOTH ELA and Math!
To celebrate their hard work and dedication, students voted to earn the ultimate reward experience — a Staff vs. Students Kickball Game! Tomorrow morning, our students will take the field to see if they can continue their winning streak against the teachers!
We are so proud of the determination, perseverance, and growth our students demonstrated throughout the testing window. They set goals, worked hard, and achieved them together!
Good luck to both teams… but especially to our teachers!

Today, we recognize and celebrate National Speech-Language Pathologist Day and extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated SLPs who support students across PCS.
Speech-Language Pathologists play a vital role in helping students develop the communication skills they need to succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Through assessment, targeted intervention, and collaboration with families and school teams, SLPs support students in building skills in speech, language, literacy, social communication, and more.
