Closings and Delays Guidelines
We receive questions every year about the decision to close school and how that decision is made. We believe that our students are better served - both academically and socially - by being in school. Having stated that, our top priority remains the safety of our students and staff.
Please understand that we make the decision for a delay or closing based on a careful analysis of relevant factors such as the weather forecast/predictions (snow, ice, temperature & wind chill), student safety, transportation, student drivers, working parents, and road conditions.
Although we take this decision very seriously, we know that often our decision may not accommodate everyone. Please understand that the decision is never made lightly and that we will always make decisions in the best interest of our students.
We hope this explanation allows you to feel more comfortable and better understand the process our district staff uses to make the best possible decision.
We are thankful for a supportive Kings community. Together we will continue to be
#KingsStrong

KJH Community Service
The Kings Junior High School Grade 7 Red team participated in a community service project before the Winter Break called "The Magic Yarn Project." The Magic Yarn Project creates yarn wigs for children battling cancer.
Students learned about the organization and then were involved with measuring and cutting yarn, so that other volunteers could make the wigs.
Mrs. Shelly Allen led the service project and encouraged students to become involved in volunteering further with the organization. Learn more about
