A BIG thank you to our King PTA for a fabulous night of science and fun!

Congratulations to our KIng Lions for a fantastic basketball season.

We're so proud of our Battle of the Books participants! They've been reading books at home and meeting with Mrs. Mayberry weekly to prepare for the competition.

Our next goal is to spell the word DANCE by having 95% or higher attendance for five days. When we reach our new goal students will get to enjoy a dance party. 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. We currently have earned the first letter.

As we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our students, we would like to address an important matter regarding the use of the "Kiss and Go" lane.

It has come to our attention that some parents are parking in the "Kiss and Go" lane during drop-off and pick-up times. While we understand the convenience this may offer, it poses significant safety risks for our students. The "Kiss and Go" lane is designed for quick drop-offs and pick-ups only, allowing traffic to flow smoothly and ensuring that students can enter and exit vehicles safely.

Parking in this lane can lead to congestion and can cause drivers to make unsafe choices. To maintain a safe environment for all, we kindly ask that you refrain from parking in the "Kiss and Go" lane. Instead, please use the designated parking areas if you need to leave your vehicle.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter. By working together, we can ensure that our school remains a safe place for all students.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

• Be alert: Watch for pedestrians and other vehicles as you approach and leave the area.
• Children first: Always help children exit the vehicle on the curbside for safety.
• Be patient: Our special education buses can sometimes cause a delay. Please be patient while they load/unload students from these buses.
• Move efficiently: Pull up as far as you can and keep traffic flowing to ensure a smooth and safe experience for everyone.
• No parking: This lane is for quick drop-off/pick-up only—Please park in a designated spot if you are walking away from your vehicle.

Thank you for helping keep our school community safe!

Reminder: If your student comes home with an extra set of clothing. we ask that you please launder all items (except shoes) and return them to the office as soon as possible. We would like to keep our supply of donated items available for any student who may need them. This could include shirt, pants, underwear, socks and shoes.

Our Health room could use some clothing donations. Specifically, we could really use some girls and boys K-2 pants (Size 5-7).

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