From early October to Christmas Break, students in grades K-4 worked hard to complete weekly iReady lesson requirements and FILL THE JAR WITH TICKETS! The filled jar rendered a school-wide reward that consisted of grade level assemblies offering informative sessions on LIVE ANIMALS with the Barn Hill Preserve.
Good morning, and welcome back, KES Families! This is just a friendly reminder that, when dropping off your children in the mornings, you please refrain from entering the main parking lot unless it is AFTER 7:35AM. Please, park at the funeral home or the Fireman’s Field. You may also use the drop-off lane in front of the crosswalk on Price Street. For everyone’s safety, use designated crosswalks and sidewalks.
The well-being of our students and families is our priority. With buses and other traffic in addition to slippery conditions, it is dangerous to have sporadic crowds of people or vehicles.
