School Update
Dear Students & Families,
Good day, King family!
It's a beautiful day!
This week, there are several activities taking place at the school. Vision and Hearing Screening is Tuesday through Thursday. Also, happening this week is the Bus Behavior Expectation lesson. Please, if you could discuss with your children appropriate behavior on the bus. Let us partner with this, so all children can have safe rides on the buses. On Thursday, 09/26, we will have our K - 2 Curriculum Night @ King Elementary. It will start at 6:30 P.M in the cafeteria. Please, note that Picture Day is October 16.
Note from Dr. Tremblay:
Given the now critical risk level of EEE, please note that the cancellation of outdoor activities from dusk until dawn is required, and in an abundance of caution and after consultation with the City's Department of Public Health, recess will need to be held indoors until the first frost of the season.
We look forward to great and safe week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Marguerite Lackard
Principal
