The GW Elementary School PTO raised a little over $10,000 to purchase enough sound cloud tiles for the entire GW School cafeteria, helping to reduce noise and improve the children’s experience during lunch time.

Congratulations to our group of dedicated parents under the leadership of PTO President Stephanie Uzee and a special thank you to the Kingston City School district for their help in installing the tiles over the Easter break.  Our children and teachers appreciate your help.

Have you ever heard of the DWPC (District Wide Parent Council) in Kingston?

Made up of one parent representative from every school in the district, the 13 member council meets on Crown Street each month and is generally attended by members of the Board of Education and often Superintendent Dr. Paul Padalino.  The meetings are open to all and give a unique opportunity for parents, staff, teachers and students to exchange and share ideas and views in a professional and open setting.

MISSION STATEMENT:

  • To provide an opportunity for the parents of the district to share ideas and mutual concerns.
  • To provide ongoing communication among the parents of the Kingston City School District, Central Administration, and the Board of Education, and further, to provide support for parents as effective communicators with clarification of proper channels when needed.
