Student–Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid

Beginning October 13, FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid.

Returning this form is important because FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3 million in unrestricted funds from the Impact Aid grant. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.

For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's homeroom teacher. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the boxes in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by November 5. All results are confidential.

Additional information about the Impact Aid Survey can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/impact

Updated FCPS Guidance for Students Sent Home with COVID-Like Illness

With cold and flu season upon us, your child may be sent home from the care room after presenting COVID-like symptoms. Monday, October 4th, the Return to School form was eliminated and the below guidelines were put in place. Students sent home from the clinic may now return to school when their symptoms have improved and they have been fever-free without fever-reducing medications for at least 24 hours, AND have at least one of the following:

Proof of a Negative COVID-19 Test:

PCR (test result from lab or physician)
Rapid (test result from lab or physician)
Home Test (picture of negative home test AND note from parent attesting the result is for the specific child and to the date the test was administered)

Physician’s Note

Note from a healthcare provider following a clinical evaluation stating the cause of symptoms is not COVID-19 and clearing the child to return to school.

Please note, if your child has been identified as a potential close contact or close contact to a positive case, your child will follow the guidance provided by the health department to be cleared to return to school. If you have any questions about this new process, or how to navigate your child’s return to school, please contact the main office at 703-426-7000.

PTA Boosterthon Update

GovDelivery 4 weeks ago

KP/KG PTA News

Please see the below message regarding tomorrow's Boosterthon event from Kings Park/Kings Glen PTA president, Emily St. Onge. If you have any questions about this message, please reach out to Emily at kpkgpta@gmail.com.

The PTA greatly appreciates all of the support shown by our community over the past couple of weeks! You have all done an amazing job at raising much needed funds for our schools via the Boosterthon Fun Run.

Due to the rain this week, our Fun Run field conditions are too wet for students to run on tomorrow. We have decided to make the pivot to DANCING and getting FIT by completing 34 different dance moves tomorrow on our black top surface outdoors. All donations made for the Fun Run event will be credited 34 dance/fitness moves rather than the 34 laps we had planned to run. Our students and staff at school AND not at school will have a blast doing the Boosterthon Dance fit. If you are at home, please see our virtual access options below to be involved! Our dance fit experience will be live streamed for our families at home and away to enjoy.

Here are the times to log on for each grade level at Kings Park:

9:10-9:40am — 2nd Grade
9:45-10:15am — Kindergarten
10:15-10:45am — 3rd Grade
10:50-11:20am — Pre-K AM
11:30am-12:00pm — 1st Grade
12:30-12:45pm — Pre-K PM

Please note that at this time, the Kings Glen Fun Run experience will be taking place as planned on the Kings Glen fields. There will unfortunately not be an option for families to dial into or attend this event, but the PTA plans to make photos available after the event!

Thank you for your understanding and support,

Emily St. Onge

Our students continue to be mindful of our new arrival and dismissal procedures and we are extremely grateful to our KPES bus drivers.

Student Rights & Responsibilities

FCPS’ updated Student Rights & Responsibility booklet is now available online and in the ParentVue section of the Student Information System (SIS). The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.

Each year, we ask parents to review, sign, and return the SR&R to their child’s school. In ParentVue, you may now download and digitally sign the SR&R. Every parent/guardian with a ParentVUE account will see the SR&R upon login to ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgement has been completed.

Once you log on, you will see the following message:

Your name in the digital signature box must match the parent/guardian’s first and last name in SIS exactly before the signature will be accepted.

Please take a moment to log into ParentVue in your child’s SIS account to access the SR&R. Signatures are due by October 29, 2021.

Please contact us if you are having difficulty accessing the booklet.

Students will need to bring their own water bottles as the normal water stations will not be set up.

Kings Park Friday/First week Round Up!

Kings Park First Week Round Up

What a great first week of in person school! As we all work to get back in the groove, we wanted to reinforce these top wonderings/reminders with you. We also want to extend our gratitude for the teamwork of all, as we welcome back 600+ Kings Park Lions. Our community is strong and ready for the year ahead!

Additionally, you can also access the FCPS Return to School webpage and FAQs webpage which are regularly updated with the latest return to school information.

Wonderings and Reminders

Dismissal- There was an error in this week's Tuesday's KIT, our apologies. KPES doors open at 8:30am and dismissal begins at 3:20pm. We dismiss as a school in the following waves:

3:20pm Kiss and Ride
3:23pm Walkers/SACC
3:25pm Buses dismissed one at a time (in the order they arrive)

*Buses and overall dismissal is projected in each classroom via the smartboard. Groups are dismissed by their teacher, one at a time, so that staff can supervise students exit via their doorway (as other staff guide in the hallway/bus ramp). Once the hallway is clear the next group/bus is dismissed.

Breakfast and lunch are free for all students, any day. Should a student want a second of any item, that is for a charge.

*Breakfast and snack are eaten in the classroom with spacing
*Daily lunch is accomplished at each grade level with 4 classes spaced and eating in the café and 2 classes spaced eating in their classroom. Lunch is delivered to the classroom for the classes that eat in the rooms, and classroom lunch rotates each month. Therefore, September 1st there will be 2 new classes that will eat in their classroom at each grade level. This set up allows us to provide for distancing in the cafeteria and the ability to stagger students at our tables and additional spaces so that no one is directly facing another student while eating.
*Masks are required in all indoor spaces while not actively eating or drinking. Please click here to see details regarding mask guidance.

Kings Park ES Reminder: Arrival and Dismissal Locations

Please see the below map that illustrates students arrival and dismissal. Our school doors will open at 8:30am. As a reminder for our walking families, FCPS only permits service animals on school grounds.

Kings Park 2021-2022 Theme: A Space for All

Kings Park has a theme every year! Last year's theme, "Passport to Discovery: Expanding Perspectives" helped our KP community grow and learn in new ways.

Kings Park's theme this year is A Space for All! We look forward to exploring this new theme in fun and creative ways for the 2021-2022 school year. We will kick off our theme with space stories read by astronauts. Watch for these special messages this summer.
