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 💛

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.

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.
Read Across America week is next week, and we are celebrating with special days.
There will be no Cougar College on Thursday, February 26th, or Friday, February 27th!
Due to an accident on Highway 21 at the drive-in, some of our afternoon bus routes could be delayed due to lane closures. If your child rides a bus that goes in that direction, please plan for their dropoff time to be delayed for an unspecified amount of time. Thank you for your patience while we work to make sure we get all of our students home safely.
