💡📘 Students out — teachers in.
At Herbert Hoover High School, teacher leaders and administrators from every school launched the brand-new KCS Instructional Playbook. This playbook has six “plays” (lessons) designed to boost student confidence, spark engagement, and get everyone involved in learning. These leaders will share the plays back at their schools on the next PL Day so all teachers can put them into action. 🙌 As the year goes on, more "plays" will be added to the playbook!
Meanwhile, our Student Support Services team met at South Charleston High School to collaborate on best practices and strategies that help ensure every KCS student has a healthy, safe, and successful education.
👩🏫👨🏫 PL Days are all about sharpening skills, sharing ideas, and building stronger schools — When our teachers grow, our students win. 💙💚❤️

🚍 New Way to Find KCS Bus Changes 🚍
We’ve added a “Bus Changes” quick link at the top of the KCS website!
✅ This link will take you to a page with all AM and PM bus changes, organized by terminal.
✅ Beginning Tuesday(9/2), district-wide bus changes will ONLY be posted on this page by the KCS Transportation Department.
✅ Some schools may still share their own school-specific bus changes on Schoology, but district-wide updates will not appear on Schoology anymore.
👉 Be sure to check the “Bus Changes” link daily for the most up-to-date information.
We hope this makes it easier for families to quickly find the information you need!

Join us for our first PTO/LSIC meeting on Tuesday, August 26th at 6:00.
Welcome back everyone to the 25-26 school year.
We are here for you with lots of cheer.
Reading, math, and all the other stuff,
We will teach you much with little fluff.
Please be here every day, all five days each week,
And you will soon be hitting your intellectual peak.
We love our students at SES,
And we will be by your side during your quest.
Let’s have lots of fun,
And at the end of the day, we can be all done.
You need to study hard and give it your all,
And perhaps you will reach your EOY goal by end of fall.
Expectations are set early on,
All you learned last year is not gone.
We will challenge you each and every day,
You will be so smart when you go on your way.
Prepared for middle school and new challenges in life,
But so darn smart, you will have no strife.
Let’s begin the year strong,
And move everyone along.
See you at Open House on August 14,
Come on by and be part of the scene.
Attendance is important every day,
You can’t be successful if you are away.
This wraps up the rhyme as it is,
And now we can say you are such a whiz.

🏀 April Madness Fun at SES! 🎉✨
Mrs. Fisher’s third grade class at Sissonville Elementary crushed it with the best attendance at the school in March 👏🎯 and earned themselves an awesome reward—a basketball game 🏀 against some of their favorite SES staff members! 🙌
The whole school came out to watch 📣👀 and the third graders did NOT disappoint. The staff may have had the height ⛹️♂️🧍♀️, but the third graders had the moves 🕺💃! Quick passes, smooth dribbles, and teamwork was on point! 🤝🔥
The game ended with a score of 26–10, in favor of the staff 🏆— but don’t be fooled, the real MVPs were those third graders! 💪💙 But when it comes to the 👟 shoe game...there was no contest — third graders brought the heat with some 🔥 kicks.
