Hey, parents!

As you are wrapping up some "lasts" with your family for Summer '26, I wanted to take a moment to send you a virtual hug!

I hope that you have enjoyed your summer and made the most of the joy that comes with having the kids in the house more, too many snacks, later nights, and sun-kissed skin.

As we walk into this school year we know life is about to get busy again. School, sports, and all the things make up a whole new routine that sometimes make us feel stretched thin and wondering what we got ourselves into. That's why I wanted to share with you our school's theme for the year, "Teams build dreams".

When life is "lifing", which it certainly will at some point for you this year, don't hesitate to reach out to your team- the school. We also want the world for your child(ren) and we are here to help when we can. Whether it's a heads up that something happened at home and you know your child needs a little extra grace that day, or a celebration of an accomplishment outside of school, we are part of your team.

It's going to be a great year because of the teams we assemble to support our kids, the high expectations we set, and the fun we sprinkle in throughout.

Thanks for being a part of Team Kingsley! Wishing you a productive Sunday and some time for fun and rest, as well!

With love,
Principal Norgren

(Photo was taken at a pizza farm, after I had just launched our baseball theme with the staff for the year- seemed like a little nod that it is going to be a great year!)
