INFORMATION FOR THE KINDERGARTEN PARENT MEETING AND ROUND UP
Our Kindergarten Parent Meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 21st, and our Kindergarten Round Up originally slated for Friday, May 1st, will be postponed. More information will be shared in the upcoming weeks regarding our plan for our youngest and newest students entering kindergarten in the fall of 2020. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this unprecedented time.

Emotional Support for Students and Parents
Many of our students, in all grades, have questions about why we are closed, what COVID-19 is, and if they should be worried. Our experts in Student Services and members of our counseling and psychology teams offer these great resources to share with your family.
