Thank you for a wonderful school year! We have seen amazing growth in our students and are already looking forward to a great start to next school year to continue working to achieve some lofty goals. Until then, enjoy your summer!
Reminder, tomorrow is a half-day so we will start dismissal at 11:15. There is no afterschool tomorrow!
Parents, do you want your children to have access to digital and audio books so they can read all summer long? Did you know that you have FREE access to SORA?!
• Go to Kingston Elementary School
• Click on the MENU tab, then under the “Library Media Center” heading, click Sora E-Books and Audiobooks.
• Click Sign in using Bartow County School District 608
• Enter student’s Username (their lunch/student ID number) and their password (your child should know it)
• You now have access to all the books in the Bartow County School District!
But wait! There’s more!!
• Under the heading EXPLORE, you’ll see Bartow County School District 608 and a down arrow. Click that down arrow.
• Click + Add Library
• If you type in Bartow County Library System, you can now add THEIR books!
I love to download audio books to listen in the car on long road trips. I also like to download digital books when I travel so I don’t have to pack bulky books, just my phone or tablet! Once you've set up your log-in, you can add the app to your device and it's so easy to read great books any time!
Field day is still on! For visitors today: Please do not park in any grassy areas for overflow. The ground is very wet and vehicles are likely to get stuck in the mud. Thank you!
