Today we celebrate the incredible people who keep our students moving safely every single day—our school bus drivers! 💚🤍

From early morning routes to long evenings filled with sports and activities, your dedication never goes unnoticed. You play a vital role in getting our kids to and from school safely, and you’re often the very first smile they see each day.

Thank you for your patience, your care, and the positive impact you make in our community. We appreciate you more than words can say.

school bus driver appreciation

Due to the potential for severe weather conditions in the afternoon during dismissal and travel times, Kingston K-14 School District will release early today at 12:30 PM (all grade levels). This proactive decision will insure that all students are home safely and buses are back before the earliest predicted possible onset time. We believe the fact that our phone lines are down with no estimated time for restoration makes moving forward with this decision more important, and want to do so with as much notice as possible. We understand that schedule changes can be challenging, and we appreciate your flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. All after school activities including Cougar College, games and practices for this evening are cancelled.

Unfortunately, our phone lines are down on a day in which communication is of the utmost importance. We are working with our phone vendor to correct the issue- It is not an internal system issue. We are also working with our vendor to solve this recurring issue for the long term or will be looking for a new phone vendor if this issue is not solved for the long term.

In the meantime, you may reach the Central Office on a backup line at 573-854-6000 and we will relay messages to the buildings. You may also email each building at:

Primary: wilkinson.dena@k-14.org
Elementary: campbell.brenda@k-14.org
Junior High: krisher.josh@k-14.org
High School: patterson.nikki@k-14.org

Today we celebrate the quiet heroes who keep curiosity alive—our librarians 📚✨

Thank you for being guides through endless shelves of knowledge, for helping us find exactly what we didn’t even know we were looking for, and for creating spaces where everyone is welcome to learn, explore, and grow.

In a world full of noise, you help us discover meaning. In a world full of questions, you help us find answers.

Happy Librarian Appreciation Day to the keepers of stories, champions of literacy, and protectors of knowledge 💛
