Your Weekly Kingsley eNews

2/21 Parent Meeting Cancelled
The parent meeting previously scheduled to occur next Tuesday night has been cancelled. Please disregard any noticed you have received via your student's weekly homework sheet, agenda, previously printed school calendars, etc.

THIS WEEK AT KINGSLEY  
Reminder Your Kids: Turn in Reading Log for Free Six Flags Tickets - Due by February 16
Kingsley is participating in an exciting program that encourages children to read for fun. Read to Succeed is a free program from Six Flags® and Discovery Education. Every student who completes six hours of recreational reading before February 16 is eligible for a free admission ticket valid at participating Six Flags theme parks--yes, Six Flags Over Georgia is one of those parks. Students will develop a greater appreciation for books when they see that you think reading is important too. You’re sure to have fun as you investigate the world of reading together! Remember student reading logs are due by February 16. Download a reading log for your student.
Don't Forget - Candlelight Luncheon is on Thursday 
This luncheon is a family event where parents (and other family members or invited guests) are welcome to have lunch with their student over candlelight. The kids absolutely LOVE it! So extend your Valentine's celebrations and show the little one you love some extra love by attending this luncheon. To find out what time your student will be having lunch, view the adjusted Candlelight Luncheon class lunch schedule. Out of consideration for the neighbors and for everyone's safety, please follow a few parking guidelines--park on the side of the road closest to the school, do not block driveways or mailboxes, do not block the bus circle or fire lanes.
 
No School on Friday or Monday
Kingsley students have both Friday 2/17 and Monday 2/20 off from school for Presidents' Day weekend. We look forward to seeing all Kingsley students when classes resume on Tuesday morning at 7:50 a.m.
