School starts August 18th!
First Day of school
Parents are welcome to bring their leopards to their classrooms for the first day of school only. Starting Day 2 arrival procedures will begin as normal.
Pre-K/Kinder Camp
New Leopards will be walked to the Pre-K/Kinder classes with a teacher where they will work in small groups so the Kinder teachers can gain insights on Pre-K/Kinder readiness.
Parents will meet with Mrs. O'Dowd to learn all the information for being a leopard pre-k/kinder parent at 4:30.
At 5:00, parents will then go to their child's classroom and meet the teacher.
