Kindergarten Orientation
All kindergarten students will need to be scheduled to attend a 2-hour orientation in their kindergarten classrooms on August 15, 16, or 17. Parents will drop students off from 9:30 - 11:30 for AM kindergarten or 1:00 - 3:00 PM for PM kindergarten. No kindergarten classes will be held these three days. During the orientation days, students will meet all of the kindergarten teachers and other building staff, tour the building, learn basic procedures, interact with peers, and of course, visit the playground! Instructions to schedule this orientation is located on the other side of this paper.
Please contact front office to schedule if needed.
