Are you a communicator?

The Charter Council is seeking passionate volunteers to work in the following areas of communication next school year:

- Website

- Email newsletters

- Facebook Page

Email council@kingsleycharter.org to learn more about how you can get involved.

Log Your Volunteer Hours
Whether you volunteered 16 hours or 160 hours, each and every hour is important to log in K12Ambit. The documentation of volunteer hours helps build a case for renewal of the charter and increases grant opportunities. Log your hours now at http://k12ambit.com/.

Remember, according to the charter contract signed at the start of the year, every family is supposed to serve 16 hours through volunteering or donating needed items to the school or for events, and many of you have met the Charter Challenge by doubling that commitment and serving 32 or more hours. Make sure we know it by logging your hours using these guidelines:

1 hour for attending an event regardless of how long the event lasted (1 hour per family, not per parent).
For cooked items for class activities or school events, 1 hour for homemade items and 0.5 hours for purchased items
Actual amount of time worked for any events or activities you've assisted with.

2013-14 Registration Forms are located on the Kingsley web site. Kindergarten registration will be by appointment May 28-30. See the website for details.
