Hello KES Families,
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. There will be no school tomorrow at KES due to Teacher Professional Development. Congratulations to Kirtland Elementary School for earning 5 Stars on the State Report Card! This is a huge accomplishment and it shows how hard everyone is working at KES and across the district!
I cannot thank families enough for all the donations to our 10th Annual KES Walk-A-Thon. We raised $14,675.00. Congratulations to Mrs. Warsinskey's class who raised the most money. They will have a pizza party on Friday. Congratulations to the following classrooms for raising the most money for their grade level:
Kindergarten = Mrs. Miller
1st = Mrs. Brown
2nd = Ms. Purchase
3rd = Mrs. Molchen
4th = Mrs. Folk
5th = Mr. Ridgeway
The classes listed above will have popsicles and an extra recess on Friday.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our "Start with Hello" Spirit Week! Students learned about kindness all week long and how one act of kindness can have a ripple affect.
Please remember to update your information in Infinite Campus. We need to have current phone numbers in case of an emergency.
Homecoming Festivities will start on Friday, September 27, 2024. Community Tailgate from 5:00 - 7:00 pm in the KHS parking lot. Homecoming Parade at 5:15 on Chillicothe in front of the schools. Homecoming Football Game at 7:00 pm at Wilson Field. Please see the attached flyer about all the events.
Every Friday, we randomly select a few Hornet Ticket winners from K-5 to receive a prize for following the Hornet Traits! Check the newsletter each week for their names! The last Friday of every month, a student who has been an exceptional leader in demonstrating the Hornet Trait of the month will be selected by their homeroom teacher to sit at the VIP Hornet lunch table.
Congratulations to our "Hornet Trait" winners for the week!

When students visit the nurse, an automated email will be sent to families to let them know when and why the student was in the Nurse's Office.
Please report all transportation changes by 2:00 pm so we can make sure the students receive the updated information.
If you are sending checks in for fees or lunches, please make sure you write separate checks because they go into different accounts.
Please keep all toys at home unless a teacher has directed other wise. We want to make sure students are not distracted by their toys and we want to prevent lost toys.
All visitors must stop in the Main Office to receive a visitor's badge and all volunteers need to be fingerprinted.
