Dear Kingsley Families,
As the new school year quickly approaches, we are excited to welcome our students, both returning and new, to what strives to be an engaging and productive year at Kingsley.
The summer break has provided our staff with time rest, rejuvenate, and to plan and prepare for an exceptional school year to come. Our dedicated teachers have been hard at work attending professional development sessions, collaborating on curriculum ideas, and setting up their classrooms to create a welcoming, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your children.
As we embark on this new journey together, communication and collaboration between home and school are more important than ever. We encourage you to stay informed and involved in your child's education. Please take advantage of our school's communication channels, including our website, newsletters, and parent-teacher conferences, to stay updated on school events, important announcements, and ways you can get involved.
We understand that each family brings unique experiences and perspectives to our school community, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our doors are always open, and we value your input.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery, and success. Let’s make this school year a memorable and rewarding experience for everyone!
