Kindergarten Camp
If you are an incoming kindergarten family, you should have received an email inviting you to sign up for Kindergarten Camp. The purpose of Kindergarten camp is to observe how the kindergarteners interact with each other in an informal setting. Please see the details below:
Kindergarten Camp on Tuesday, August 29th
Please sign up for one, 45 minute session for your child to attend and make sure to plan on arriving 10 minutes prior to your child’s session time to check-in and allow us to start on time. Following kindergarten camp, we will refine the classroom placements. Once done, you will receive an email with your child's assigned teacher and a link to sign up for your child's Kindergarten Welcome Conferences. Kindergarten Camp will be in lieu of the Medina Meet and Greet for Kindergarten families.
Teacher Meet and Greet Grades 1-5
Thursday, August 31
You will be notified of your student's teacher via email by August 30th 5pm. If you do not receive this email, please reach out to Betty or Kati via email or call the front office beginning on August 31st at 425-456-5400.
Stop by Medina Elementary during the afternoon of August 31st to learn about PTA programs, check out the school bus, and meet your student's teacher.
PTA will have tables with information from 3-4:30pm at the undercover area, and front doors open for families to visit classrooms from 3:20-4pm. After you get a "popsicle ticket" from your teacher, head on to PTA area to trade in for a frozen treat.
