Come help us prepare for the largest one-day food collection drive with Harvesters. We will be neatly folding grocery bags around envelopes. These bags will be delivered by mail carriers in May and picked up on May 11th. Hopefully a representative from Harvesters will join us to share more about Harvesters. Due to the strict folding guidelines, we need lots of parents. If your child is in K, 1s tor 2nd-they must have an adult supervise during the event. Sign up here!

Kindergarten Round-up
Join us for Kindergarten Round-up on Thursday, March 28th from 6:00 - 7:00 PM in the PRE Cafeteria! If you know of neighbors and friends who will have an incoming kindergartner, please pass this information on to them.
Parents will be a part of the Kindergarten Information Night & Enrollment, and Incoming Kindergartners will go with kindergarten teachers and other Prairie Ridge Staff to participate in kindergarten activities!
Although incoming kindergartners are invited to come to the round-Up, please plan accordingly as childcare for other siblings is not provided.
Meet our fabulous kindergarten teachers, begin the enrollment process, and learn about Camp Kindergarten!
Going to Kindergarten in the fall?
- Make plans to attend Kindergarten Round-Up with your incoming kindergartner on March 28 in the PRE cafeteria.
- Parents will have the opportunity to begin the enrollment process, ask questions, and meet our educators.
- By Kansas statute, children must be the age of 5 on or before August 31 to be eligible for Kindergarten enrollment.
- Parents will also learn about Before/After School Care offered through a partnership with Johnson County Parks and Recreation Department.
Parents should plan to bring the following 3 documents with you to Round-Up:
