Elm Street Field Day is Friday!
Rising Eagle Kindergarten Night was held April 26
The Elm Street Kindergarten Team excitedly welcomed approximately 35 families (around 90 total guests) with rising kindergarteners to Elm Street last week! Loved seeing so many new Eagle families joining us under the Elm! We cannot wait to get to know them! Always fun to see many familiar families bringing new Eagles our way, too! Attendees enjoyed a wonderful opportunity to bring their rising Eagle to Elm Street to spend a little time exploring the classrooms, meet the current Kindergarten teachers and teaching assistants, and learn more about Kindergarten at Elm Street.
Kindergarten registration remains open at Central Registration Center. Please encourage anyone you know to register now. It is important that we have accurate enrollment counts to plan the right number of teachers. Families needing to register will find information online about what is needed to enroll: details can be found here.
Looking forward to getting to know our newest Eagles in Kindergarten next year!
