It’s hard to believe but it is already time to start planning for student courses for next year. Middle school students will receive their scheduling sheets and program information on Thursday, February 22nd.  8th grade students will meet with the high school counselors and 7th grade students will meet with the middle school counselors during a Foxes Den assembly to receive program and scheduling information. Parents be expecting your student to bring home information this Thursday regarding scheduling for next year. 6th graders will be visiting KGMS over the next few weeks. Scheduling sheets and information will be provided to 6th graders during their visit at the middle school. The schedule is as follows: Potomac ES 2/27, King George ES 2/28, Sealston ES 3/13. A parent town hall style meeting will be held in mid-April in conjunction with a 6th and 7th grade dance. Mark your calendars for Friday, April 13th for the parent meeting and student dance.

It’s great to be back in school. It’s been rather difficult getting back into the swing of things with all of the weather closings but our students and staffulty are getting back into the groove. Friday we had a pep assembly to welcome everyone back and review our PBIS school wide expectations. Students enjoyed performances by our jazz ensemble and cheerleaders. Our student leadership group planned, organized and hosted our pep assembly. They reviewed key concepts from our PBIS school wide expectations through skits, games and relays. Our students continue to demonstrate that they are Respectful, Accountable and Productive. KGMS Foxes know how to RAP!!

Our lost and found box fills up quickly with items ranging from lunch boxes, binders, books, and many, many, many clothes. Did I say many clothes?! Students leave items on the bus, in the cafeteria, and in classrooms. We try to return items to students if they are marked with a name but unfortunately, not every item finds its way back to the rightful owner.
I am always surprised to see just how much stuff is accumulated in such a short period of time. We are just beginning the sixth week of school and already the box is almost full. Our lost and found will be emptied approximately every six weeks. A notification will go out by school messenger alerting parents of the deadline to retrieve lost items. This process will occur throughout the school year. Our first deadline for pickup of lost items will be next Friday, September 29th.

If your child is missing an item please encourage your child to come and look through the lost and found box which is located in the ma…
