​

Save time this summer by ordering convenient school supply kits which include all the brand name products your teachers love. Sales from this program also provide much needed fundraising dollars to your PTA! 

You can still order your kit with home delivery only for an additional $9.95. Headphones and earbuds are also available for purchase.  Kits do not include water bottles, backpacks, gym shoes, and art smocks. 

Check out this great program and order yours today at: https://www.shaneskits.com/ (School Code: KING58).

The Kingsley Spring Book Fair is still in full gear! Mrs. Krier, our awesome LRC teacher, suggests some great summer reads for each grade level. Check out some of the titles she recommends, and follow the links to the abcfairs.com website to purchase and support our local bookstore business. Ordering is easy, and so is getting your books; you can pick them up at our Downers Grove Anderson's Bookshops location!

Social distancing doesn’t mean an end to Summer Math Club! Summer Math packets are available for download now! Once students have completed their first packet, they will complete a digital form which will connect them to an answer key.  Videos explaining the answer and further instruction will be available as well. Prizes and additional packets may then be collected at the library desk as pick up only; additional packets will be made available digitally as well.  What a fun way to continue building math skills throughout the summer! See http://dg58.org/summer/ for more details!

We have not yet received this year’s yearbooks due to Lifetouch being required to reduce production during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are in the process of working with the district on a plan for yearbook distribution once they are delivered - stay tuned!
