A Message From the Principal's Desk:
Greetings, members of the Kingsway community!
We are winding down another successful year at Kingsway Regional Middle School. As we wrap up the school year, we wish our 8th graders nothing but great success in high school! KRMS would like to thank all of our sponsors in the community who have supported our Renaissance Program through the donations and perks they have provided for our students. In its ninth year, the Renaissance Program continues to be a point of pride for the district, and many students have benefitted from its existence. Finally, we would like to wish all families a safe and relaxing summer. Thank you for all of your support this year. Go Dragons!
