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.

We have experienced a water issue at our Elementary/Primary campus with discolored water intermittently coming out of our faucets. We are providing students bottled water to drink and are serving meals that do not require us to rinse or cook in water for the time being. We have a commercial well company investigating the issue. We have been in contact with the Health Department and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources multiple times in order to keep them updated on the situation and have been assured that we are doing what needs to be done for safety, which is similar to what would be done in the case of a water main break and boil order. If anything changes, we will keep the community updated.

Our Softball team continues in the MAAA Tournament today vs Potosi at 1:30 at MAC. $5 for adults, $3 for students. Our HS Baseball team is HOME vs Bismarck, 4:30 start, one game only.
