PurposeFULL People Spotlight: Perseverance
This past week, we proudly recognized students who demonstrated the PurposeFULL People character trait of Perseverance—pushing themselves to work through challenges and obstacles, even when things get tough.
What makes this recognition extra special is that these students were nominated by their peers, showing that their determination and positive attitudes are noticed and appreciated by others.
Perseverance is an important part of being successful both academically and socially. It helps students grow as learners, build confidence, and develop strong relationships with others. We are so proud of these Stags for leading by example—keep up the great work!

KES Lunch - Tomorrow's lunch will be Chicken Drummy, green beans, and Mac&cheese.
It appears we're currently having and will continue to have the Preston County Winter we've all become accustomed to, but haven't seen in the past few years. The state allocates us, based off additional learning time in our buildings each day, 5 traditional snow days, where students and staff under 240 day contracts do not report, and allows 5 non-traditional learning days (Brain Freeze) where students work from home and staff reports. If we exhaust all these days, make-up days, either via from Spring Break, or at the end of the school year, will need to be used to meet the state requirements. If we go over those allocated days, the calendar will be adjusted and you will be informed of the dates of those make-up days.
We are so proud of our Kingwood Elementary 4th graders for their outstanding participation in the 50th Annual Preston County Schools Math Field Day! Our students were well represented and brought home several top placers, showing just how powerful effort, focus, and perseverance can be.
Every student who participated should be proud—your hard work and determination truly paid off. Way to represent KES and show what our Stags can do!
