The first-grade team at KES would love to give a huge shout-out to our community partners for their support for our STEM PBL this school year. Paul Pugliese from the Bartow County UGA Extension Office has been an invaluable resource for our students. Givhandys Inc. donated plants for the bog in our Living Classroom. Together, they have provided hands-on learning experiences that will last a lifetime.

Waylon is one of Kingston's “chicken tenders” who works hard to wrangle up our free-range gals to get them back into the coop. He is very dependable and makes it look so easy! 

Congratulations to 3rd grader Gareth P. on setting the new school record for the Boy's Pacer Test at 66 laps!

Attention all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents!

We are a little less than a month away from the Georgia Milestones state assessment window. Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be testing their content knowledge in ELA, Math, and Science (5th grade only). The infographic provides steps you all can take at home for your student(s) to take a practice test for the upcoming Georgia Milestones assessments. This website also provides a study guide for parents and students so that you are better informed about what to expect for state testing.

For those of you who like to plan ahead, our testing window begins on Monday, April 27th and goes through Friday, May 8th! It is extremely important that our students are here every day to ensure they are the most prepared they can be to rock those Milestones assessment!
