Valentines Day Fun

During Valentine's Day classroom celebrations, students took time to create cards for local nursing/senior care homes. The valentines were delivered that afternoon to the delight of many members of our local community.

Parking Lot Safety

King Needs Your Help,

As the weather continues to get colder more of our students are being driven to and from school. This means our already busy parking lot is even fuller. Please make every effort to follow the posted directions, park only in designated spaces and be safe and respectful of all the other families. We all have busy mornings and tight schedules, no one is the exception. Observing the parking lot rules makes it safer for all our kids. Planning a bit of extra time and modeling kindness and respect in front of our kids is the King Elementary School way. The safety of our staff and students is very important to us. We appreciate your help with this.

We are in need of clothing

Students who get dirty/muddy or have an "accident" often borrow clean clothes from our health room. We are always in need of gently used boys pants (in various sizes - especially sizes for our kindergarten and first graders)

Crystal Apple

Dear King Community,

CSSD11 is proud to have the Crystal Apple Awards which honors teaching excellence in our schools. Thanks to the votes in our community, we are very excited to announce that Kathy McNelly, our preschool teacher, is King Elementary’s Crystal Apple nominee this year. We need your help sharing the amazing things that Ms. McNelly does for our school and community with the nomination committee. We are asking for letters to be written that can share the following with the Crystal Apple committee:

In the classroom, how does this teacher meet the needs of all students? You may consider students individual differences, learning environment, student motivation, and preparation of students to become productive members of society.

How does this teacher demonstrate professional collaboration?

How does this teacher contribute to a positive school/parent/community partnership?

What are some personal stories of Ms. McNelly’s impact on your student, family or the community that you can share?

Please turn in completed letters to the front office or to Mrs. Tasha in the Office by February 21, 2024.

If you have any pictures of your students when they were in Ms. McNelly’s class (current or past!) we would love to have those as well.

Thank you for your support!
