Do you want to go on a field trip with your kids?

It's so important that you complete the HCS Volunteer Application NOW!

No one will be allowed to attend with the students if they are not an approved HCS Volunteer for the saftey of our students.

Please send in a note with your child to make a transportation change or email jmccracken@horrycountyschools.net. When emailing please make sure you receive a response. All transportation changes MUST be made by 12:00.

Friendship is to make and keep a friend through mutual trust and caring.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month- During the month of October students will learn ways to make and keep friends by recognizing the qualities of a friend and practicing communication skills that improve peer interactions. Concepts such as “fairness” and “forgiveness” will be discussed in Guidance in an effort to help students recognize that making and keeping friends takes effort and care. It’s difficult to imagine life without friends to share our ups and downs. Having a friend improves self-esteem, as well as the quality and enjoyment of life. Encourage your child to read books about friendship.

Friendship Books:

-How to Make Friends with a Giant by Gennifer Choldenko

-Friends to the End For Kids: The True Value of Friendship by Bradley Trevor Greive

-Enemy Pie by Derek Munson

-Our Friendship Rules by Peggy Moss and Dee Dee Tardif

-Dog and Bear: Two Friends

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for your child this year!

Students are encouraged to wear school colors or Kingston T-shirts every Friday. School colors are blue and white. Wearing school colors each week is a proactive way of reminding students to maintain our safe and caring school. Each class that has at least 50% or more students wearing school colors will have their class name entered in a drawing. Two classes will win the Cool Cat sign to be placed on their door for the week, as well as some type of incentive (candy, ice cream, chips, etc). Each week we hope to choose a different class. Please encourage your child to participate in Spirit Day every Friday!

Congratulations to our Spirit Day Winner Last Week Mrs. Watson's 5th-grade class.

Congratulations to our R-Card winners! These students demonstrated that they were RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and READY.

Kingston Elementary regularly implements the following safety procedures: Random Wanding, Fire Drills, Lockdown/Intruder Drills, Tornado Drills, etc.

Our #1 goal is to ensure that Kingston Elementary is a SAFE environment for our Cool Cats. To do this, we hold a variety of safety drills throughout the year. Safety drills enhance school safety by allowing students and staff to understand proper emergency procedures outside of a crisis situation.

What drills will our Cool Cats participate in throughout the school year?https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qk4owoUpCM4aSSCXmdeiBSUmmCjfkol5u9Eq2cmks1A/edit
