The Kings District will have a Remote Learning Day on Friday, April 15, 2022. Students and staff will not report to the school buildings. Students will receive their expectations/assignments from their teacher prior to that day. Teachers will not be hosting Zoom sessions; students will be learning asynchronously, however, teachers will be expected to be available for student questions via email during school hours.

We'd like to recognize our wonderful District Assistant Principals as we celebrate National Assistant Principal Week.

Thank you to Brent Allen, Ron Corradini, Jeff Miller, Lori Stovall, and Jenny Wilson for the significant role they play in the overall academic achievement of our Kings students.

Assistant principals are essential to establishing a positive learning environment that ensures each student and adult is known and valued.

KME students and staff collaborated on a glass project with Brazee Street Studios in Oakley. In February, Art teacher, Katie Heagen taught Kindergarten through Fourth-grade classes the terminology, safety, and process of working with glass. 

Students decorated a 2.5” glass tile with frit and streamer. Staff tiles were backed in red, while student tiles were backed with a shade of blue. Special thanks to the KME staff, School Resource Officer, Trent Barker, and Board Members Peggy Phillips and John Skerl for taking time out of their schedule to create a glass tile. 

Congratulations to Katie Gabert and John Ulm who have been named National Merit Finalists, advancing them one further stage in the National Merit Scholarship Program.

To become a finalist, students take the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). Students who achieve a top score on this test are named commended students by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). Approximately 7,500 National Merit Scholarships will be awarded this spring.

KHS Principal, Doug Leist said, "Although we all know them as remarkable seniors, it's wonderful for them to receive this broader recognition." 

On Wednesday, April 7, the Kings/Hoxworth Blood Drive took place under new leadership. The Drive, which was previously overseen by the late Jorge Gonzalez was the highest drive collection since 2006.

Rana Southern, Kings Orchestra teacher (pictured below in the red shirt), and the new blood drive coordinator said this new position is an honor to be able to carry on the work that Jorge started. Mrs. Southern also received help with the drive from Lucy Gonzalez who was helping to carry on her dad's legacy.
