This message is for families that KES shares with CPMS. On Thursday, November 21, CPMS will complete an evacuation drill which will lead to afternoon dismissal from the Craig Civic Center. Due to the proximity of their alternate dismissal location and KES, please be advised that busses may arrive at the elementary school a little sooner than usual. Other than that, you should be able to retrieve your children from the Fireman’s Field as you would on a regular day.
Thanksgiving Break is quickly approaching, and we hope students are ready to show up and learn all day, every day next week! To make things fun, we've got a spirit week all planned out! Monday: PJ Day; Tuesday: Crazy Sock Day; Wednesday: Hat Day; Thursday: Match Your Class Day; Friday: Sweat Suit Day
This is just a friendly reminder that the Smiles Dental Program will be at KES next Thursday, November 21st!
If you are interested in your child receiving this service but have not yet signed up, you can conveniently do so online at www.MySchoolDentist.com.

Kingwood Elementary wrapped up the month up October with contributions to our larger community while having a good time! Last Tuesday, staff and students paid $1.00 to wear pink. All proceeds benefited the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center in Morgantown. A celebration was held in the gym where there was a sea of pink, an informational video about the center was shown, and the $420 check written to the center was revealed/presented. A special thanks to PE teacher Kylie Phillips for organizing the event!

No two days are alike, and each day brings an opportunity to learn something new at Kingwood Elementary! Last week, each homeroom class in grades PreK through 4 designed a safety container for their pumpkin in an attempt to keep it intact after a fall from a raised fire truck ladder! This made for cross curricular learning, teamwork, and creativity inside our classrooms and outside in our parking lot. Two fourth grade classrooms, Mrs. Uphold’s and Mrs. Zigray’s, had pumpkins that survived the drop! Congratulations! Thank you to the Kingwood Volunteer Fire Department for donating time, manpower, and resources! Thank you to Kingwood Walmart for donating the pumpkins for this event! It takes a village, and we have a wonderful one! We'll see everyone tomorrow!

KES would like to congratulate all of our students for their hard work during the first grading period! During the first iReady diagnostic testing window, students in grades 1-4 were challenged to score +/- 20 points from their May 2024 scores, and many were able to meet or exceed this goal!
