Return to School Lunch Bunch Recording
Kings Park ES hosted a virtual lunch bunch on Friday to discuss FCPS's return to school. While classroom teachers are sharing details and plans that are classroom specific, we were excited to share about KPES globally.
During this time we reinforced the latest updates from FCPS and shared some Kings Park ES specifics. If you were unable to join us, we have you covered! Please see this link to listen to our recorded presentation.
Kiss and Ride
As we begin to welcome students back to Kings Park ES and want to ensure the safe arrival and departure of each child. Kings Park ES has an established area called the Kiss & Ride, which is designed as a safe place for adults in private vehicles to load and unload children. With the cooperation of all drivers the Kiss and Ride is able to provide an efficient and safe transfer of children.
If you are interested in using Kiss and Ride to drop off or pick up your child, please review the attached document and complete the embedded form. Kiss and Ride tags will be mailed home in advance of students returning.
Student Book Bag Distribution
Kings Park staff has been busy creating book bags for students to provide the opportunity to have access to more books to read from home. Curbside pickup will be available for grade levels at the following days and times;
1st Grade: March 1st: 10:00am – 11:30am and 1:30pm - 3:30pm

Regardless of grade level, families who were unable to pick up your child's book bags at an earlier date, you may come to Kings Park between 9:30am - 3:30pm to pick up Monday- Friday.
