September 15th Monday Memo

Happy Monday! This week, we have an early dismissal day on Wednesday, the 17th. The student day will end at 12:30 PM, and standard dismissal procedures will begin. Buses will follow their standard routes for drop-off, and parent pick-up will begin around 12:30.

Also on Wednesday, the 17th, the first PTO Fun Day! This month, we will have bounce houses set up for students to enjoy as an extra treat from the PTO. Students must wear socks to participate. Thank you to the PTO for funding this fun day for students.

Next week, the Monday Memo moves to a new time. Families can expect to get their news in the morning around 10:00 AM

The documents linked below are Title I communications from King’s Highway Elementary. The School–Parent–Student Compact is an agreement outlining how teachers, parents, and students will work together—teachers provide quality instruction and communication, parents support learning at home, and students commit to responsibility and daily reading. The Parent Right to Know Letter explains families’ rights under federal education law, including the ability to request information about teacher and paraprofessional qualifications, as well as details about student assessments. Together, these documents highlight the school’s commitment to transparency, collaboration, and student success.

These documents are also available on our website at: Documents | King's Highway Elementary
