Late in the summer, the KES PTO helped put together a favorite tradition... Kindergarten Orientation. Nervous incoming kindergarteners’ worries transformed into excitement as they met their teachers and classmates while exploring impeccably decorated classrooms. While the children sat down for story time with their new teachers, parents joined the administrators for an information session on the big transition to elementary school.
First Day of School 2018-2019
The first day of school at KES is always amazing! This year, the sun was shining which created a joyful and warm welcome for the first day back. As the children saw familiar and new friendly faces, you could feel joy and excitement permeating throughout the air.
