King and Queen Elementary School (KQES), built in 1937, formerly known as Pleasant Hill High School will no longer exist after this fall as it is today. Students will be relocated to a site with modulars for the school year (2023-2024) while a new building is built. The Class of 1988 and 1992 buried time capsules when they were 7th graders before being promoted to the 8th grade to Central High School. The now adults came to KQES and dug up their capsules. Inside the capsule were letters students wrote to themselves, a program of the promotion ceremony, Richmond Times newspaper clipping, cassette tape, and VHS tapes.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We’re excited to tell you about a free program, ENGAGE Virginia, that will provide King and Queen students with an extra layer of academic support for the upcoming school year. The Virginia Department of Education and KQPS have partnered with the Engage Virginia Graduation Alliance to provide an extra layer of support for K-12th grade students and their families to boost school engagement and academic success during the school year.
If your student chooses to participate in the program, they will be assigned an Academic Success Coach who will reach out by phone, email, and text message to provide encouragement, answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to help them stay on track and engaged with their schooling!
In the coming days or weeks, you may be contacted by someone from the Engage Virginia Graduation Alliance to ask if you would like to take advantage of this FREE program. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!
