Kingsley Connection

Dear Kingsley Students and Families,

We are excited to welcome everyone back to Kingsley Junior High on Tuesday, January 6. We hope you had a restful and enjoyable break and are ready to begin the new year together.

As we return, we look forward to a strong second semester of learning, growth, and connection. Our staff is ready to support students as they return to routines and continue working toward their goals.

As a reminder, please check students' schedules in Infinite Campus before Tuesday. Exploratory classes rotate each semester, so students will see updated exploratory courses on their schedules.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are grateful to work alongside our families and are excited for all that lies ahead in the second semester.

We look forward to seeing our students back in the building on Tuesday.

Warmly,
Kelly Fitzgerald
Principal, Kingsley Junior High School
