Message from the Superintendent

Did you know your child could receive free meals this summer for the weekends? On Thursday afternoons, we will send home meals with all students enrolled in summer school. If your child is not enrolled in the summer school program here at Kingston, please click on the attached link and fill out the form for Non-Congregate meal pick-up, before Monday, May 26 at 9:00 AM https://forms.gle/c1LxHq4xeo3fC76c7 This opportunity will only last until June 25. We will post a new form weekly for families to sign up. The form must be completed each week before Monday morning at 9:00 AM. Pick-up is on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 1:15 PM. A parent or guardian must pick up these meals. Pick-up is located in the back of the Primary Gym.

Important message from Kingston Superintendent Dr. Mike Golden: We have been closely monitoring the weather forecast for this afternoon. Out of an abundance of caution, we are going to dismiss early today at 1 PM. This will allow us to have all students safely home and all buses back to campus prior to the predicted onset time of the possible severe storms. All after school practices and activities are canceled. Based on the forecasted end time of the threat of severe weather, we anticipate High School Graduation to move forward at 7 PM as planned, with doors opening at 6 PM. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding and support of the Kingston K-14 School District.

Our next Mobile Market is scheduled for June 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM.
