Message from Mrs. Carey!
Dear KES families,
Happy Thursday and happy FALL! Besides the crazy rain today, hope you all are enjoying the amazing temperatures that fall brings to our region:) Thank you to our 4th and 5th graders for their hard work with testing this week! They were focused, on task and gave it their ALL! So proud of our KES Tigers!
Reminder that our Constitution Day celebration was rescheduled for tomorrow, September 24th! We would LOVE to see our students in their RED, WHITE and BLUE gear 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!

Important Parent Q & A Regarding Quarantine Guidelines
See below for some valuable facts regarding the Quarantine Guidelines that Queen Anne's County Public Schools are following.
Please note that our School Nurse at school is available for questions. Students are that are experiencing signs & symptoms affiliated with Covid-19 are screened and parents will be contacted to pick up their student if there is the need to quarantine. We thank you for your understanding as everyone's health and safety is our main concern.
More Covid Close Contact Information
1-In the event your student has been in close contact, needs to quarantine, or is out for any other reason, PLEASE contact the school nurse ASAP. We can note and track this information and provide our families with an accurate "return to school" date if needed. For after school hours and weekends, please refer to the Covid Alert email flyer. A nurse will email you or contact you directly with specifics. Nurse emails: jacqueline.leight@qacps.org (substitute nurse) & tracey.higgs@qacps.org
2-At the elementary level, there are no virtual learning opportunities for our students. If a student will be out for an extended period of time, they should access their homeroom teachers' Schoology page for assignments; teachers are also able to provide the student workbooks and/or a Chromebook, as needed.
3-We will notify your students' homeroom teacher of a return date. Please contact your students' homeroom teacher for assignments or refer to their Schoology page. You can also contact the front office at (410) 758-1166 to pick up a Chromebook/workbooks, as needed.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any further questions!
