Attractions Dining and Value Guide Coupon Books for Sale!
Our 5th graders are selling Attractions Dining and Value Guide Coupon Books until September 13th! Proceeds will be used to fund their 5th grade Washington DC trip. The cost is $25 per book with over $8,000 in actual savings. Purchase one from a 5th grader or at the front desk.
All car riders will enter the building in the mornings at the cafeteria entrance instead of using the front door from 7:00-7:25a.m. Students should not start unloading until 7:00 a.m. This will be for those eating breakfast and for those not eating breakfast. We do want to encourage all of our students to eat. We have a hot breakfast option and a cereal option. If you choose to park and walk your child up to the school we asked that you use the crosswalk at the front of the school where Officer Smith stands. Please do not use any of the other cross walks. This is for safety of our students.
CAR RIDERS
It is our goal to have a safe arrival and dismissal every day, and we need your help! Your child’s safety is our main concern. Please follow the procedures below.
MORNING DROP OFF· Students may be dropped off at 7:00 a.m.. Breakfast is served from 7:00-7:20 a.m. in the cafeteria. Anyone arriving after 7:20 will not be able to eat breakfast.
· Remain in your car and in a single file line at all times. It is important to keep one lane open for emergency vehicle access if needed.
· Please make sure your child is ready to unload prior to arriving at school (book bag, homework, lunchbox, etc.)
· We will unload 9 cars at a time, and there are 9 numbered stations where you can drop off your child. Duty attendants have been placed at each station to supervise and expedite students getting out of cars – please follow their directions explicitly.
**Please DO NOT drop your child in the teacher’s parking lot. It is very dangerous, and children are not allowed to cross the driveway without a parent.
**PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BUS ENTERANCE OR THE NEW PARKING SPOTS IN THE BACK TO DROP STUDENTS OFF!
AFTERNOON PICK-UP
· Students are dismissed at 2:30 p.m.
· Remain in your car and in a single file line at all times. It is important to keep one lane open for emergency vehicle access if needed.
· Display your car rider tag prominently on your dashboard or visor. The front office can provide additional tags if needed. Only those cars with tags will be allowed to pick students up in the line. Others will be asked to park and visit the office for verification.
· We will load 9 cars at a time, and there are 9 numbered stations where you can pick up your child. Duty attendants have been placed at each station to supervise and expedite students getting in cars – please follow their directions explicitly.
· All students must be picked up by 2:50 p.m. Students not picked up by 3:00 p.m. will be sent to our afterschool program, Kid Power, for supervision. The cost will be $12.00 per day, per child, and will be due when you pick up your child.If for any reason you need to park, please DO NOT park in a handicap parking space if you do not have a handicap sticker.
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 to be made by 1:30.
A Note From the School Counselor...
Your child will be visiting the guidance classroom a few times throughout the year for guidance lessons. During guidance, I will teach character education lessons. Some examples may be emotional awareness, drug prevention, career awareness, friendship, bully prevention, diversity, body safety, and conflict resolution. Please ask your child what they are learning in guidance each month to reinforce good character.
As the Kingston Elementary School Counselor, I am here to help everyone! In addition to seeing students during guidance lessons, I also speak with students individually or in small groups. Some examples of small groups that may be held this year are Social Skills, Anger Management/Conflict Resolution, Organization/Study Skills, Family changes, Peer Mediation, and Grief. If you would like to speak with me or have questions about what the school counselor does, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.
I look forward to supporting you and your child(ren) this school year!

Let's show our school spirit!
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 Winners last week, Mrs. King's 3rd grade class and Mrs. Fleming's 4th-grade class.

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
