Message from the Principal, Cristy Harris
Dear KES Families,
We had another PAWSome week at KES!
You should have received a Connect Ed. message earlier today informing you that the 2017-2018 NYS assessment results for grades 3-5 ELA and Math, and grade 4 Science, are now available on Infinite Campus in the Parent Portal. Please contact your child’s current teacher if you have any questions.
It’s a countdown to Halloween, so I thought it would be timely to share how KES celebrates the holiday. On Saturday, October 27, is our 39th Annual PTO Halloween Fair at KES from 11:00-3:30 pm. If you have never been to the fair, you are in for a real treat; if you are a repeat customer, then you know exactly what to expect- lots of fun, fun and more fun! The Halloween Fair is not a drop off event; children need to be supervised by a parent/caretaker while at the fair.
Traditionally, the kindergarten students bring their costumes to school on Halloween Day, which this year is Wednesday, October 31. In the afternoon, they are helped into their costumes and parade for their 1-5 grade friends. The costumes need to be easily placed over the child’s clothing, no masks and no props. First graders wear orange and black. Students in grades 2-5 have a variety of ways in which they celebrate, which will be communicated directly by the classroom teachers/class parents.
Next week, you will receive a Connect Ed. message with information about signing-up online for Parent-Teacher Conferences.
