We hope you enjoy your summer vacation! School resumes Thursday, August 16, 2012. Registration for the 2012-2013 school year will be Thursday August 2nd from 11-7, Friday August 3rd from 9 -4, and Monday August 6th from 11-7.
On May 22nd King School at 2:15 – students will go
out into the playground area to partake in our first annual kite, bubble, sidewalk chalk, and giant ice cream sundae celebration. Students in 4thand 5th grade will receive a kite to fly, students in 3rdgrade will receive bubble wands, students in 1st and 2ndwill receive a bottle of bubbles, and kindergarten students will receive sidewalk chalk. Mrs. Hoschek will purchase 20 gallons of vanilla ice cream and Hershey’s chocolate to fill a clean new wading pool, and ice cream sundaes will be scooped out and provided to each student and staff member. It is a tradition that was done in Canton where I was principal, and one that was the highlight and culmination activity of each school year. I am hoping it will be a great last day school year memory for our students and staff. I have totally enjoyed my first year back in Galesburg after being in other districts for the last ten years. I have lived in the Galesburg/Knoxville area my whole life. I actually lived on Baird Avenue when I was a young girl attending Costa and Galesburg High School. It has been a joy getting back in touch with families I have known for many years and getting to know the students of King. It is so much fun to learn about connections with families, and we even have some of my former students’ from Galesburg High School children at King. I am looking forward to summer break. This year has been a huge learning curve for me, but I will be excited to start the new year in August. Have a wonderful safe summer!! Summer vacation is rapidly approaching and students will
be home for the next three months!! Keeping children busy and engaged during this time is always a big challenge for parents. As a parent of four children, there were many times when my children would argue and fight and I thought I would pull my hair out!! When children get into arguments, sometimes they do things without thinking such as lashing out, name calling, or physical aggression. It is very normal for us to want to jump in and solve our children’s problems for them. After all they are the most precious possession we have! But it won’t help them learn how to cope when we aren’t around. So here are some useful tips to help teach your child (ren) to problem solves:
