Hello KES Families,
Happy Sunday! Welcome Back!! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful spring break. Classes resume tomorrow!
Please see the Cheer Camp flyer and the Basketball Camp flyers below from Coach McGregor and Coach Ridgeway. Registration is now open.
The "Just Run" program will be starting on Tuesday, April 1st for students who signed up in Grades 3-5. We will have a parent meeting tomorrow on Google Meets. I will send out the link to families on Monday morning. The program will be facilitated by Mrs. G, Mrs. Filla, and myself. We plan on incorporating a variety of activities to get students moving and making healthy choices.
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Celebration of Learning. The event will take place on Thursday, May 22. More details will be released over the next few weeks.
Ice cream will be sold on on Fridays during lunch. Students must know their lunch code numbers to buy it. Please load extra money on your child's account if they want to purchase the special snack on Fridays.
All families dropping off in the morning and/or picking up their students must do so in the front of the building. There is a lot of traffic flow during arrival and dismissal and we do not want to create an unsafe situation. We appreciate your cooperation because we want to keep all kids safe.
We are hiring a long term Lunch Monitor Sub and a Latch Key Assistant, please let me know if you are interested.
Grades 3-5 will be taking their Ohio State Tests (OST) on the following dates:
ELA- April 15 & 16
Science April 23 & 24
Math April 29 & 30
Students testing will need headphones and a mouse for their Chromebooks.
Thank you to the parents who attended the Kindergarten Parent Meeting on March 19th. Registration will open this week on Final Forms. I will also send out a Google Form for families to sign up to visit classrooms in May. Kindergarten Registration Information for 2025-26

If your child is sick, please keep them home so they can rest, get better, and not spread germs. If students go home sick with a fever or throwing up, they must stay home for 24 hours to make sure they are fully recovered. Please remind your child to wash their hands frequently to help reduce germs. I am also suggesting that students use hand sanitizers before they eat their lunches.
Students are not allowed to bring phones and/or smart watches to school. They can be a distraction and we do not want anything misplaced or lost.
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.
