King and Queen County Public Schools

Good afternoon King and Queen Community,
This is Dr. Carter, division superintendent, calling with an update regarding our schools.

Well, Elsa from the movie Frozen has used her power of ice and snow on our back roads, school parking lots, and around our school buildings. She has called me with the new knowledge of love and she is sending "melting" our way. We do hope the groundhog doesn't see his shadow next week and we do not get any huge accumulation of snow this weekend. I think we may have a heat wave of 39 on Monday.

King and Queen County Public Schools will be closed with a remote learning day tomorrow, Friday January 30th. As Elsa says, "Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore". Love being a ROYAL Tiger

Good afternoon King and Queen Community, This is Dr. Carter, division superintendent, providing an update regarding our schools.  I just finished traveling through King and Queen and our roads and parking lots are not safe for our vehicles.   Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8th will be a remote learning day.  Students, please check with your teachers for your assignments.  Please continue to send photos for the SNOW/ICE reel.  Stay warm, safe and no ice skating.  See you all on Valentine’s Day! Thank you.

King and Queen County Public Schools will be closed Monday, January 26th and Tuesday, January 27th for remote learning days. Safety is always our first priority, and our decision to close schools are made to protect our entire community to include students, staff, and families. We hope you and your families are staying safe and warm during this weather event.
