As we wind down the school year, it is still essential that students practice safe bus riding skills. Please revisit safe bus riding expectations with students.

Here are some Safe Bus bus-riding guidelines for all students:

1. Stay Seated: Students should always remain seated while the bus is moving. Feet should be towards the front of the bus, not in the aisle or on the seat.
2. Use Quiet Voices: To help the driver concentrate, students should keep conversations at a reasonable volume and avoid loud or distracting noises.
3. Follow the Driver's Instructions: The bus driver is in charge of the bus and must be followed at all times to ensure safety.
4. No Food or Drink: Students should refrain from eating or drinking on the bus for safety reasons.
5. Respect Personal Space: Students should keep their hands, feet, and belongings to themselves and respect others' personal space.
6. Be Kind and show PRIDE: Students are expected to treat their peers and the bus driver with kindness and respect at all times.

CASD Middle Schools (Scoot and North Brandywine) invite all 5th-grade students and their families to Welcome Night on May 7th at 6:00 PM. Please RSVP below to your school.

Not sure which middle school is your home school? Use the CASD School Locator to identify based on your home address.

As we round out the school year, we wanted to ensure families had another opportunity to review the KH Title I compact. The document attached below is what King's Highway will do to ensure families have the chance to connect with their school and their child's education. v. At both events, families were welcomed to school for some fun and to connect with what is going on.

The spring book fair is just around the corner! We are looking for volunteers to help support student shopping.

Join us for the Spring Chorus Concert on May 6th at 7PM.

Performers will need arrive earlier and should follow directives from Ms. Poyer.

The Lost & Found is FULL. Please take a moment to do a quick at-home inventory of coats and hoodies. We have a collection of items waiting to be claimed. Any item not claimed by May 15th will be pulled for donation.
