Kindergarten Orientation Tomorrow Evening
We are so excited to welcome new students to our building next year and to see our Pre-Kindergarten students move up to a new setting! We hope all current Pre-K families and incoming Kindergarten families can join us for our Spring Kindergarten Orientation on May 15, 2023 from 5:30-7:30pm. This orientation is for the parent/guardian of any student who is registered to begin Kindergarten at Sargent Elementary in the fall of 2023. This is an event for parents/guardians only; however, childcare will be available. At this orientation parents/guardians will meet the principal, the kindergarten teaching team, and some other related service staff. Parents/Guardians will also get to tour the building, spend time in the kindergarten classrooms and learn about academics and programming for the 2023-2024 school year. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the event in the cafeteria. If you plan to attend this orientation, please RSVP to Meg Calvert-Cason at calvertcason.m@beaconk12.org.
In addition to this spring orientation, there will be another orientation geared towards the students in August after class placements have been decided. At the summer orientation, students will meet their teacher, tour the building, practice going through the lunch line, play games in the gym and take a ride on a school bus!

District Wide Assembly: Pout Pout Fish!
Last week the Pre-K through 2nd grade students across the district gathered at Beacon High School to enjoy the TheatreWorks production of Pout Pout Fish the Musical. The themes of the show were: confidence, adventure, friendship and teamwork! The kids had a blast! Thank you to the BCSD and the elementary school PTOs for collaborating to fund the show. It was so special to be all together and share this common experience across the schools.
