This is a reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, October 10th, Student-Led Data Conferences at KES will be held from 4-6PM. Chat with your child's teacher, view some of their work, talk with our guidance counselor and other members of Student Support Services, and get some help reading your child's ESGI and iReady reports.
Parents-We will be doing a STEAM activity in November. We are asking that you send in paper towel and/or toilet paper rolls. We appreciate your support in providing this learning opportunity to all students. Thank you in advance!
Next week is National School Lunch Week. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life, and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. We have selected fan favorites to highlight the week, as well as focusing on a "farm to table" day on Wednesday, featuring WV pork and fruits. And as always in Preston County Schools, all students eat for FREE.
At KES, our students’ social successes are shining right alongside their academic ones! Students in grades K-4 demonstrating September’s PurposeFULL People Character Trait, Respect, were recognized last week. These students were nominated by their classmates and see the value in all people and things and treat them with care. Meanwhile, students in Mrs. Davis’ Class worked on taking turns, following rules, and communicating with peers through games. Can’t wait to see what we’ve got in store for our Stags this week?! Be at KES from 7:35-2:25 and find out!!
Don't forget that LSIC and PTA will meet tomorrow evening, Monday, October 7th! LSIC will meet in the KES library starting at 5PM followed by PTA at 6PM. Hope to see you there!
