Our School Improvement Plan has been finalized is now available for you to review.  We look forward to your feedback and suggestions as we work to continue to improve teaching, learning, climate, and parent involvement at Kemptown Elementary School.  Please email your comments/questions/suggestions to michelle.white@fcps.org .

Our Leadership Team, in conjunction with a group of wonderful parents (Thank you Joanna Coffey and Olga Marchetti), are beginning to work on creating materials that you can use at home to reinforce learnings or to enrich your child's school experience.  Our first topic will be Reading Fluency

Welcome back to our school website.  We hope you find all of the information that you need.  Please email us if you don't see something that you need. 

We have been working very hard to improve instructional uses of technology at KES. We have currently surveyed all staff and students in grades 1-5 to help us measure our growth.  Teachers are all participating in technology study groups learning and trying out new technologies in their classrooms.   If you have some expertise in this area, we'd love to hear from you.  Maybe you would be willing to train staff in a specific technology?

FISHA Kemptown Philosophy for 09-10
FISH
FISH! is a philosophy, based on the world-famous Pikes Place Fish Market in Seattle,  that provides the process, tools and language to generate the skills necessary to design a school full of inspiration, creativity and innovation. FISH! creates a common language. A language that will help improve our culture by using four simple practices – Be There, Play, Make Their Day and Choose Your Attitude™.  It is an invitation that enables all of us to care about each other and our commitments. FISH! is an ongoing journey. It is not a fad. It is a practice and a skill that evolves over time creating a positive learning environment and a vibrant culture each time it is embraced. 

The FISH! Philosophy is an invitation to re-awaken the self-trusting, creative spirit within each of us. It inspires us to start new conversations about what's possible and to develop new attitudes about how you show up in your community both at home and in the workplace. FISH! inspires you to have fun again, at work, at school and at home every day of the week!

We look forward to seeing FISH permeate our community.
