We will be having three testing sessions for our 2013-14 Honors
program. All 6th graders who are interested in King's Honors Program,
including students who are currently in an elementary GT program, must apply.
Current King 7th grade students who are not in the Honors Program can
also attend these testing sessions. Current 7th graders already in Honors classes do not need to take the tests for the 8th grade Honors Program.
The dates are as follows:
- January 26, 2013 (Sat), Room E8, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
- January 29, 2013 (Tues), Room E8, 6:30 - 8:00 pm
- January 31, 2013 (Thurs), Room E8, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
E8 is located behind the Admin Building. Signs will be posted. Testing in reading
and
math will be held on each of the dates. The reading test is for
placement in Honors Language Arts class, Honors Social Studies class and
Honors Science class. The math test is for placement in Honors Math
class.
Students can take only
one test (Language Arts or Math) on either January 29 or January 31. Students can take
both tests on January 26. Students may choose to come on any of the three days. Each test is approximately one hour.
If
you would like your child to be considered for King's Honors Programs,
he/she may apply for eligibility by completing the registration form,
provide the requested documents, and take the screening tests.
Information/registration packets for honors testing have been provided
to the elementary schools for 6th grade students. Current King 7th grade
students who are interested in the 8th grade Honors program can pick up
the information packet from their counselor. Please complete the
registration packet
prior to arriving on testing day and have the required copies of documents with you when checking-in for testing.
Please take note of these dates and plan accordingly. No additional testing dates will be scheduled.

Our Cobras are collecting these box tops for team points and ultimately for money for our end-of-year activities. So go through your cupboards and pantry for Box Top products. We get 10 cents for each coupon. Be sure to check the expiration date too. Here is a link to a list of brands and items that have Box Tops. Collection runs up to January 31, 2013. 
Teachers and students are getting into the festive spirit with holiday events this week. We started off with a "Lunch with Santa." A gorgeous Christmas set was designed by Mr. Pettit for all to enjoy. Cafeteria tables were covered with tablecloths and centerpieces brightened the student's lunch. They also were treated to a fun game of K-I-N-G-O (like BINGO) with sweet prizes! The week is filled with other holiday games and fun. On Thursday, students can wear their holiday head gear. They get team points too!
