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

Summer School will be from May 26 to June 24. Enrollment forms went home with students. If another copy is needed, students can get one from the offices!

📣 Reminder! Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15th, is an early dismissal day for all Kingston students! Please make arrangements for pick-up and after-school care.

Our phone issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

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 💛

Please join us for a fun evening! It will be in the JH/HS Cafeteria. Reach out to Bonnie or Chris for more information or any questions.

Thank you to all of our Paraprofessionals for the hard work you do!

Due to the tragic passing of longtime Kingston educator Mrs. Susan Heuer and her husband, Mr. Henry Heuer, the Kingston School District will be closed on Monday, March 16 so that our faculty, staff, and community members may attend the funeral Mass and pay their respects.

Mrs. Heuer dedicated more than 30 years of service to the students of our district before retiring, impacting generations through her work as a teacher and volunteer. Mr. Heuer was also a familiar and supportive presence in our schools and community through his volunteerism.

This loss has deeply affected our school community, including many staff members who worked alongside Mrs. Heuer and the Heuer family. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Heuer are the parents of Dr. Jennifer Boyster, Assistant Superintendent, and Mrs. Suzanne Merklin, Assistant Principal. Closing school on Monday will allow our staff and community the opportunity to honor their lives and support the family during this difficult time.

Classes will resume as scheduled on Tuesday, March 17. We ask that you please keep the Heuer, Boyster, and Merklin families in your thoughts and prayers, and we thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

📣 Reminder! Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 11th, is an early dismissal day for all Kingston students! Please make arrangements for pick-up and after-school care. 💚🐾

Some bus routes may be delayed this morning due to flooding as we use caution in getting our students to school safely. We have driven roads and moved some debris from some roads and most of our routes are passable at this time. Drivers will use caution and if there are any questionable areas routes may be slightly altered.

There will be no Cougar College on Thursday, February 26th, or Friday, February 27th!
