Thank you Mrs. Jenna Campbell
Please join me in extending thanks to Mrs. Jenna Campbell, who has been serving as our Acting Assistant Principal while Mrs. Maura Donahue has been out on maternity leave. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Donahue back to KPES just prior to Spring Break, and even more glad that we will not have to say goodbye to Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Campbell will continue to support our school in her official role in the Office of Student Support as the Region 4 Literacy Resource Teacher.

FCPS Cares
FCPS CARES is an opportunity for staff, parents, students, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others. Every month, a nominated employee from each region and Central Offices will be recognized as an FCPS CARES of the Month recipient. We’ll share their names in Employee News, and they will also have access to a new FCPS CARES banner for their profile photo in Outlook. Watch this video to learn more about FCPS CARES. We also encourage you to acknowledge a staff member who has gone above and beyond! We love our KPES staff members, let's tell them how we feel!
