King's Highway Families,

As we begin November, please remember that there is no school tomorrow. We look forward to welcoming students back refreshed and ready to learn. When we return, we'll kick off our PTO Food Drive, which runs through November 17. Students can bring canned and boxed food items to support local families, and each donation earns an entry for a chance to Pie the Principal during our November 18 Fun Day! Thank you for helping us make a positive impact in our community while adding a little fun to the school day.

PickUp Patrol Reminder: Please update PickUp Patrol whenever your child’s dismissal plan changes, including after-school clubs and activities. We will follow the plans entered in PickUp Patrol. Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process. Questions? Call the office at 610-383-3775

Food Drive & Pie the Principal!

Our PTO Food Drive runs November 2–17! Students can bring canned or boxed food donations to their homeroom teachers. Each item earns one entry for a chance to Pie the Principal during our November 18 Fun Day! One student from each class will be selected.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help make the event happen! We could use help with setup, preparing the whipped cream pies, guiding students on and off the stage, taking photos for the yearbook, and cleanup.

Title One Weekly

November is Family Literacy Month!

This November, we invite all KH families to celebrate Family Literacy Month by enjoying the pleasure of reading together at home. Reading as a family helps build strong literacy skills and fosters a lifelong love of books!

Be sure to participate in our Family Literacy Bingo Challenge. Students who complete one row on the attached bingo sheet and return it to Mrs. Chanudet will receive a free Applebee's meal coupon. If you need a copy of the Bingo sheet, students can pick one up in Mrs. Chanudet's reading room.

Happy reading, and thank you for supporting literacy at home!

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!
