The Kingston Elementary School Improvement Council (SIC) is an advisory council to the principal that is focused on school improvement issues. It is made up of representatives of parents, teachers, and community members. The SIC meets monthly during the school year. Kingston parent representatives are nominated and elected by their fellow parents. Any parent/guardian of at least one child enrolled in KES is eligible to place his/her own name or the name of another parent in the nomination.

Please use this link to make your nomination by Sept. 30th.

Kindness is the quality of being thoughtful, friendly, generous, and considerate; considering the needs of others.

Activities to do at Home:

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!

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
