Zena Elementary School is an elementary school serving Kingston NY students in Kingston City School District. 

Together with the teachers, teacher assistants, custodians, and other personnel, we provide a complete educational program for our K-5 students. All of us work diligently and cooperatively and are proud of our school. We believe it is our responsibility to provide a social, academic, and productive environment where children can learn and grow. Our motto is “ZENA CARES”.

Together with our staff, students, parents, and community, our school is alive with activity and learning. I am very proud of the creativity and commitment from faculty and staff. I believe that our students are productive and eager learners because of the strong support from home and the strong support from school. Together we do make a difference for our children.

Thank you for visiting our web site. This is a wonderful way to use the technology resources available to communicate with our students, families, and the larger community.
