#GreatMindsatWork

Our students keep their bodies in motion inside and outside the classroom. Today our 1st graders were strategizing and using teamwork in PE while playing a game of Scooter Tag with pool noodles.

Music class

Student voice is always present and at work during music as well. Check out the sweet welcome and warm up song students sing as they begin music class, featuring a first grade classroom.

Thank you!

Whether you are a bus rider, walker or kiss and ride family, we are grateful for your support to ensure a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal process. With 640+ students all under the age of 9; the KPES community's combined adult patience and diligence makes a huge difference in keeping everyone safe. 

As a gentle reminder, animals and family pets are not allowed on school property in accordance with FCPS School Board Regulation 2125:  Exceptions are made for service animals to accommodate a person’s disability.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
