Gator Bytes: News and General Information for Kings Glen ES
December 18th – January 1st
To Our Kings Glen Families -
We want to take this time to reflect on the many blessings we share as a Kings Glen Gator community. It has been truly inspiring to see watch your children grow, not only academically but also personally. Our job as parents, guardians and educators is to give children not only the tools they need to thrive as students, but also the life lessons and experiences they will need to grow into responsible adults for their generation. We are so proud of the hard work they do each and every day!
Winter Break is a time of rest, reflection, reconnection with family and friends, celebration and rejuvenation as we head into the new year. We wish you all a wonderful Winter Break, and look forward to wonderful experiences with our Gator community in the new year!

Cold Weather Is Coming!
December is here! As temperatures drop, please be sure to send your children with coats and outerwear to keep them warm for outdoor activities. Bringing these additional items to and from school means that the Lost & Found is growing! Please be sure to label your student's items and encourage your child to check the Lost & Found in cafeteria for any missing items.
PLEASE NOTE: All items remaining in Lost & Found will be donated over Winter Break.
