Cougar Connect Community Edition
September 24- October 1 Issue 6
Principal Arellano's Post
I hope that you all have had an amazing Saturday! Believe it or not, we are entering into the last week of September. This past week, you should have received your student's progress report. Please be sure to read over it and use it to help drive the conversations you are having with your child about all of the amazing skills and concepts they are learning. Our teachers are committed to partnering with you to grow your student academically and socially. We have a strong belief that everyone has the capability to grow. Please reach out to your student's teacher to see how you can partner with them in helping your student grow. Students reach their highest levels of success when families and schools are a team.
We held our annual Fund Run assembly on Friday. Please look for your student's Fund Run envelope in their backpack. We sure are excited to hit the track with our students on October 8th! This year, we are raising funds to help increase student's access to current technology, purchase resources for our PBL projects, and fund academic-focused field trips. Every dollar counts and we appreciate your support in our annual fundraiser.
October 1st is Custodian Appreciation Day. At King, we all work together to ensure our students find success and feel connected to our community. Oftentimes, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Starnes can be seen supporting students and staff in a variety of ways. They do more than keep our building in tip-top shape, they go out of their way to impact our community in a positive manner. Please encourage your student to think of a creative way to show their appreciation.
We look forward to another great week with students!

Cougar Alert
- Please send your student with an extra mask. Thank you!
- Drop off time in the morning is at 8:00 a.m. Please do not drop students off prior to 8:00 a.m. as we do not have duty staff available for supervision.
- All visitors must check-in at the front office prior to entering the school building. At this time, parents are not permitted to eat breakfast or lunch with their students at school. We hope that we can once again welcome back parents during breakfast and lunch sessions soon. Please continue to monitor our weekly Cougar Community Connect for updated information.
- If your student is eating breakfast at school, please encourage them to eat prior to going out and playing. This will help ensure that they have adequate time to eat and are fueled for the day!
- During arrival and dismissal, please be courteous and avoid blocking driveways. We have had several of our neighbors call to report that their driveways are blocked, preventing them from leaving their homes.
- Please be on the lookout for our FUNd Run packets! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please reach out to our front office.
