Principal’s Message

Dear KES Parents and Families,
Happy Spring! This is both a fun and busy time of the school year! Please check the calendar of events to make sure you are informed and please call the office with any questions. We are excited to share our learning with you!
We are working hard to make sure that our students are learning as much as they possibly can for the rest of the school year. It is our goal to have them fully prepared for success on end of year assessments and next year’s curriculum. Please continue to support your child’s learning at home and contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns at any time.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely, Teresa James, Proud Principal of Knightdale Elementary School

April is School Library Month! Please join me in showing Mrs. Pittman our appreciation—share why you love our library!
Our new Class Armor Citations reward will be class choice and will be 40 Citations!
Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Carla Enriquez as our new 4th grade teacher!
Our 4th graders did an amazing job at the Arts in Action event on March 22, 2017. They performed together with Lake Myra students on the big stage at Knightdale High and I heard it was like a Broadway Show! I am so proud of them!
