Message from Mrs. Carey!
Dear KES families,
Happy Thursday! Our KES students are thriving since they have been back in the building! I have been so impressed with the level of engagement on the part of our students, staff and parents; we are so appreciative of our families for being supportive and involved at EVERY level. Our KES community is so phenomenal!!
Due to the impending morning rain, our Constitution Day celebration has been rescheduled for September 24th! We would still like to encourage our students to wear RED, WHITE and BLUE tomorrow to celebrate the day!
In advance, THANK YOU to all of our families that have reached out to our staff with student signs and symptoms of illness. It is evident that you are checking your child each morning, prior to sending them to KES; this has allowed us to be very proactive and is eliminating the spread of germs to others. We want to continue to keep all of our students healthy and happy this school year! I have linked below the updated "Student Quarantine Guidelines" and the "Student FAQ". Please make sure that you take the time to review these documents.
Reminder that if you are interested in your student receiving the Flu Mist at KES you must complete the "fillable" forms below, by tomorrow, and return to our KES office.
Additionally, please check out the information on our partnership with the Queen Anne's County Public Library! Our students have free access to borrow books, ebooks, magazines, journals, online encyclopedias, and other resources from the Queen Anne’s County Library! The opt-in form is also linked below. Take advantage of this amazing resource!
