From the Principal

Happy
New Year!


 KPS is having a great school year of
Knowledge, Pride and Success!


Websites are a true example of modern day technology which the schools can incorporate to keep parents in the know.  It is vitally important that parents be a part of this team for we are educating our children, the ones that we share between school and home.  Each one of us has an important role.  We cannot do the job without the other. At KPS, students learn the core subject areas of reading, writing, math, history and sciences, as well as the arts. But we also strive to teach the skills of problem- solving, critical thinking and teamwork, so they can be better prepared to deal with the global society ahead of them.  We hope some day that they will be designing the websites of the future. Please remember our motto KPS stands for Knowledge, Pride, Success.  Reinforce it at home as our partner.  When we all speak the same language, great things do happen. 




Water U
pdate:  Both KES & KPS have been cleared by the Putnam County Department of Health to use the water.  Testing will continue to assure safety.

Our kindergarten through fourth students are a reflection of the strong, vibrant community that we all share. Our teachers are dedicated to preparing our children to be leaders in the world outside our doors.

Recycling Program

Capri Sun Juice Wrappers earn money for KPS. The students at KPS are pitching in by recycling aluminum juice pouches. Kent Primary found an organization called Terracyle that will repurpose these juice pouches into neat things like tote bags, purses and even pencil cases.  The best part is that KPS receives 2 cents for each juice pouch.  Mrs. Peck's 1st grade students are in charge of collecting, rinsing and packaging the juice pouches.  We can use your help by collecting the pouches at home and sending them into us in September and throughout the year.  Here's how: 1. Please cut the top off just under the top seam (above the spot for the straw). 2. Rinse them out with just warm water. 3. Allow them to dry out before putting them in a Ziploc for us.  You can find out more by visiting the website: www.teracycle.net

KPS Highlights

KPS now has a site license for IXL Math. IXL is a comprehensive, standards-aligned math program offering unlimited practice in thousands of skills. One of the best things about IXL is that students in grade 1 - 4 can access it from school and from home!  Your child should know their user name and password. If not, just ask their teacher.
