A Message from Principal Ritter

Greetings Gator Families,

I hope that you are having a great summer break!  We have been working hard at Kings Glen to prepare for the upcoming school year.  Our fabulous custodial staff has been doing a phenomenal job of cleaning our building - a tricky task since we are hosting several programs over the summer months.

Recently, we hosted a very successful 3-week CodeUp! program at Kings Glen, in which the campers explored nature and technology in creative ways. Check it out here!

Although summer is still in full swing, I would like to put the following dates on your radar for back-to-school planning purposes:
