Dear families,

It’s hard to believe we’re in the last school week of 2023! We want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and dedication to language learning at King George School. We are committed to supporting your child(ren) and look forward to seeing them continue to grow in the New Year. Students have been working hard and have accomplished so much in these first few months of school.

This is our final Weekly Update to Families for 2023. Our next Weekly update will be sent on January 5, 2024 for the week of January 8-12, 2024. As we approach the winter break, we want to wish all of you a restful and enjoyable holiday. In whatever way you and your family celebrate at this time of year, we wish you all joy and peace. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2024 for everyone.

Parking during entry and dismissal

We want to remind our families that parking along 10th street is not permitted for vehicles (the only exception being buses). This is not a space available to drop-off or pick-up your children. Thank you for your cooperation with this.  

Lost and Found

This is final notice that any unclaimed lost and found items will be donated to a local charity on Thursday December 21. Thank you!
