Here is a sign up link for the available times and dates for each teacher. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0F4AAAAB283-mystery1
If you would like to be a mystery reader, please look for the teacher whose class you would like to read to and enter your name in the slot for the date and time that you prefer. Please bring a book that you would like to read to the class on the day of your visit and be sure to sign in at the main office when you arrive. Remember, it’s a surprise, so don’t tell your child that you or a family member are going to be the mystery reader! Thank you for participating in PARP!

Kindercamp at Niagara University
Kindercamp is an academically based summer camp designed specifically for young children entering kindergarten in September and includes developmentally appropriate learning experiences and activities that build upon and strengthen skills necessary for kindergarten. The themes and activities of Kindercamp are planned and taught by certified preschool and kindergarten teachers from the surrounding school districts.
A kindergarten readiness family workshop is held on the last day of camp. Parents have the opportunity to hear about how they can support their children’s transition into kindergarten at home and information about kindergarten registration and procedures.
