Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures Upon Return to School

We are excited to welcome students back to our building following the recent extreme winter weather! As we resume school, please note the following temporary procedures to help keep everyone safe:

Families are encouraged to park at the funeral home and walk to our main lot(s), as Fireman’s Field and surrounding sidewalk areas may not yet be fully cleared.

Due to ongoing construction and the installation of exterior gym doors, we will only be utilizing the front door of the gym closest to the Early Childhood Building and dumpster for afternoon parent pick-up. Same traffic pattern and procedure, just one door for giving names and retrieving children.

The main entryway remains open for visitors and normal school business.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and support as we navigate these temporary changes. We are so happy to have students back learning with us!

KES PTA will be meeting tomorrow, February 2, at 6PM in the library. Get involved! Learn about upcoming student and family- centered events! Let your voice be heard! We hope to see you there!
