Transportation Reminders
Also, if your student is a bus rider, please be at the bus stop on time for pick up. Tagged students (CD, K, 1st) will be brought back to the school. Students brought back will be sent to Kid Power at a drop-in rate of $12 per student. When students are brought back, this delays the bus route not only for any remaining KES bus riders, but also for the middle and high school riders of later routes.

October Life skill for the month- “FRIENDSHIP”
Together against bullying — united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.
Make it ORANGE and make it end! What are your true colors when it comes to bullying? If you care about safe and supportive schools and communities make your color ORANGE on Unity Day. All students are asked to wear ORANGE on October 23, 2019. That’s the day everyone can come together—in schools and communities— and send one large ORANGE message of support, hope, and unity to show that we are united against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. During class students will discuss the word “Unity” and reflect on the statement, “When we stand together, no one stands alone.” Please talk to your child about the meaning of this statement and remind them to show kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for your child this year.
