Kindergarten Welcome Week

We will be on a slightly different schedule for the first week of Kindergarten. This allows for a smooth transition for our youngest students. Please read these details carefully:

• Kindergarten students will not attend school on Tuesday, September 5th or Wednesday, September 6th. These days are set aside for individual meetings with kindergarten teachers and families. Meetings are for parents/guardians, your kindergarten student, and your child's teacher. This is a good time to drop off school supplies, if you have not already done so. Sign up by clicking here.

• On Thursday, September 7th, and Friday, September 8th, half of the Kindergarten students will attend each day. A letter was sent via U.S. Mail letting you know which day your child will attend.

• The first day of school for ALL Kindergarten students is Monday, September 11th.
