Happy October Everyone!

Dear King Families,

How quickly the end of the first quarter of school has arrived! Students and staff have had a great first quarter building classroom relationships and cultures, creating routines and procedures, and engaging in new learning everyday. We look forward to seeing you at Fall Conferences on October 23 and 28. Have a wonderful Fall Break!

Warm regards,
