King's Highway Families,
As after-school clubs, activities, and events continue throughout the year, please remember to update PickUp Patrol whenever your child's dismissal plan changes. If your student is staying after school for a club, activity, or school event, that information should be entered in PickUp Patrol so our staff can ensure a safe and accurate dismissal process.
Please be mindful of your student's default plan and update it as needed for any changes in routine. To ensure a safe and consistent dismissal process, we will follow the dismissal instructions entered in PickUp Patrol. Keeping plans up to date helps reduce confusion and allows us to get students to the right location quickly and safely.
Thank you for partnering with us to make dismissal run smoothly each day. Contact the office today for help with PickUp Patrol: 610-383-3775
Drill Today
Today, our school conducted a lockdown drill as part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment. Students and staff did an excellent job following procedures, and the drill was completed successfully. These practice drills help ensure that everyone knows what to do in the event of an emergency and allow us to review and refine our safety procedures. Thank you to our students and staff for taking the drill seriously and helping to keep our school community prepared and safe.

Harvest Day Parade
Friday October 30th 2:15 PM
We are looking forward to celebrating Harvest Day and our annual Costume Parade! The parade will begin at 2:15 PM, and families are welcome to attend by standing along the perimeter of the parking lot and blacktop area. Students may choose to wear their costumes all day or bring them to change into before the parade. To help maintain a safe and productive learning environment, masks may only be worn during the parade and should not be worn during the school day. All costume accessories and props must be school-appropriate, and items that resemble or could be mistaken for weapons are not permitted.
Families who wish to participate in classroom Harvest Day celebrations and enter the building must pre-register with the classroom teacher. If you are interested in volunteering for your child's classroom celebration, please contact your student's teacher as soon as possible. We appreciate your partnership in helping us create a fun, safe, and memorable day for all students.

STEM Showcase
Hello Parents and Students, We are excited to continue our STEM Showcase this year! Last year’s event was a tremendous success, and we were so impressed by the creativity, curiosity, and enthusiasm our students brought to their projects. We saw an incredible variety of STEM ideas—from hands-on experiments and exploding volcanoes to amazing LEGO masterpieces, habitat displays, slime creations, and innovative engineering designs. All students in Kindergarten–5th grades are encouraged to build, design, experiment, create, and explore with a STEM project of their choice. Students may work independently or in a team of up to three students. What is STEM? What kind of project can I do?
- 🌎 S is for Science – Test a chemical reaction, conduct an experiment, build a model, or research an interesting question.
- 💻 T is for Technology – Program a robot, code a game, create an animation, or design a futuristic gadget.
- 🏗️ E is for Engineering – Build a prototype, construct a LEGO model, solve a problem, or invent something unique.
- 🔢 M is for Math – Find patterns in nature, design a game based on probability, explore symmetry, or investigate math in the world around you.
The first step is simple! Please complete the Interest Form by November 16th.
Important Dates:
- November 16th: Interest Form due
- January 11th: STEM projects due at school
- Week of January 11th: Student presentations (specific date TBD)
- January 20th: STEM Night @ 6pm
Lost & Waiting to be Found
Pro tip: Name on the tag
It must officially be jacket season because our Lost and Found is already filling up at record speed! Every morning starts with students bundled up for the chilly air, and every afternoon seems to end with a few jackets deciding they'd rather stay at school. If your child has been missing a sweatshirt, coat, water bottle, lunch box, or mystery item they swear they brought home, there's a good chance it's waiting to be reunited with its owner. Take a look at the photo below and see if you can spot anything familiar before our Lost and Found collection grows into its own classroom

Next Meeting: November 19th
Otis Spunkmeyer & Holiday Wrapping Paper Fundraiser — Thank You!
Thank you to all the families who participated in our Otis Spunkmeyer and Holiday Wrapping Paper Fundraiser! Your support helps the PTO provide fun experiences and extras for our students and teachers throughout the school year.
Order Pickup — Thursday, November 19
Orders will be available for pickup at the school beginning at parent pickup and continuing until 6:00 PM. All orders must be picked up that day. If you are unable to pick up your order, please email the PTO immediately at khspto841@gmail.com.
We are also looking for volunteers to help bring orders out to families’ cars.
Next School Store — Friday, November 6
Our next School Store is coming up on November 6! Volunteers are always appreciated to help students shop, restock items, and keep things running smoothly. You don’t need to stay for the entire time, and we’d love to have your help!
Food Drive — Pie the Principal!
Our PTO Food Drive is back with a fun twist! From November 2–17, students can bring canned or boxed food donations to their homeroom teachers for a chance to Pie the Principal!
Each donated item earns one entry, so the more items students bring, the more chances they have to win!
One student from each class will be selected to pie the principal during our PTO Fun Day on November 18.
It’s a fun way for our students to give back to the community while enjoying a little friendly competition!
Counselor's Corner
Problem Solving
Children encounter challenges every day. Strong problem-solving skills help them become independent and resilient.
Family Challenge: Ask your child to describe a problem they solved this week and how they handled it.
Attendance Matters
Every school day counts! When students attend school regularly, they build strong academic habits, develop meaningful relationships, and stay connected to their learning community. At Coatesville Area School District, we encourage families to make attendance a priority whenever possible, as even a few missed days can result in important missed learning opportunities. Consistent attendance helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally while setting the foundation for long-term success.
If your child will be absent, please notify the school office as soon as possible on the day of the absence. Upon your child's return, send a written excuse within three school days so the absence can be properly documented. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure your child is present, engaged, and ready to learn each day. Together, we can make every school day count!
