We would love to add members to our small committee!

Our October PTA meeting is October 7th at 6pm in the mini gym. We hope to see you there!

October 9th is our Restaurant Fundraiser Night at Red Robin

5th grade enjoying King spirit week!

A BIG thank you to Mr. Poole for another awesome Field Day. Our King Lions had so much fun.

We're climbing towards reaching our goal of 95% attendance. We met our current goal to spell out KING by reaching 92% attendance for 4 days in a row and all classrooms are getting to go out for an extra recess! Our next goal is to spell LIONS by having 93% or higher attendance for five days. When we reach our new goal students will have music played during lunch and they get to choose the (school appropriate) songs! Our goal is 95% because we understand that there will be absences for illness and emergencies. We are hoping that outside of illnesses and emergencies all students will be attendance every day!

Families, it is that time of year that we start to see items collecting in our Lost & Found. As you can see, there are a number of items needing to find their owner! Please feel free to stop in and check out our Lost & Found. One thing to note, we donate all items that are left in our Lost & Found twice a year! Our first donation of items happens over winter break and then we will donate again at the beginning of summer break!

D11 has updated the Student Handbook. Go to the link below and scroll past the board policies to access the updated Student Handbook. We added a link to the bottom of Lion Tracks so that you can access this important information whenever you have a question.

D11 is focusing on the ABC's of learning this year:

Attendance

Behavior

Cell Phones

We want all students to maintain an attendance rate above 90%. To excuse your student, please call 719-328-6000.

To increase learning time we want all students in the classroom ready to learn at the 7:50 bell. Students who enter King after the 7:50 bell are tardy and will need to have a tardy pass from the office to enter the classroom. Thank you for helping us get started on time each morning!

If your student is going to be out of town for an extended absence, please make sure to fill out the Pre-Arranged Absence Form a week in advance if possible. Parents please request missing work form classroom teachers.

Our Health room could use some clothing donations. Specifically, we could really use some size 10-14 pants, shirts, and jackets and boys K-1 clothes.

King Elementary is looking for a Crossing Guard for after school. If you are interested, please email Mrs. Krueger, tammy.krueger@d11.org

Thank you for taking the time to make sure you are connected with us. Please reach out to our front office 719-328-6000 if you have any questions or concerns.

Please help King boost the 'Great Schools' rating, by leaving a positive review. We appreciate your support.
