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.

Generosity is a world-changing principle: and it’s one that can be taught from a young age. It is an inherent motivator of the greatest power, which will emerge if given a chance. It teaches children that one act of kindness can make a difference. Please help us teach your child what generosity looks like. See tips below.

Activities to Do At Home:

• Review definition and discuss what it “looks like”

• Write about a time you felt good about giving

• Compliment Can – pull a name & share compliments

• Discuss / interview with parents or family about generosity

• Catch ‘Em In the Act – award with verbal praise or “Caught Being Good” Cards

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 and Mrs. Sawyer's 4th-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
