Calusa Elementary
Welcome to Kindergarten 2020-2021
Incoming Calusa Elementary Kindergarten Students & Families
Welcome to Calusa!
We are so excited to have your child join us for the 2020-2021 school year.
While campus is closed we are accepting registrations virtually through email. Please know that this pre-enrollment form is not required to fill out but is highly recommended. You can always wait until campus is open again if you feel more comfortable dropping off everything in person or sent through email to Ashley.Gornitzky@palmbeachschools.org.

We have put together a google form to make the process as easy as possible for parents. Please keep in mind that once campuses are open again parents will still need to come in to fill out a registration form and drop off any additional necessary paperwork. You may also email any additional paperwork for registration to Ashley.Gornitzky@palmbeachschools.org.
Any gifted or ESE paperwork should be emailed to Chari.Gordon@palmbeachschools.org.
Welcome to CALUSA- the HOME of the BEST FLAMINGOS in all of PBC!
Specific Requests
Please know that we are not taking specific classroom requests for a specific teacher and/or to be with other classmates. We have a very strategic process of assigning students to classes and we know that all of our educators are well-qualified and class environments are warm, inviting, and conducive for great student success. So, please do not send emails to Administration asking for specific teachers, rooms, or classmates.
Thank you,
Calusa Administration

Google Classroom for Kindergarten Families
If you do not have G suite, it will not allow us to add you at this time. When your child is enrolled in a Kindergarten class, you'll have access to GC as a guardian to your child.
In the meantime, you are not missing any pertinent information as it is all included in this e-newsletter.
Getting Students ready for Technology
- Students are encouraged to know what a keyboard is (different from a touchscreen)
- Students should know how to use a mouse (different from a trackpad and touchscreen)
- Students should be familiar with using headphones
- Students are encouraged know that the "shift" key makes capital letters (they will need this for their usernames and passwords)
- Students could use practice with typing (at least their first name)
Kindergarten Staggered Start
An example, if your child's Staggered Start day is Monday then he/she would come to school on Monday, but not Tuesday & Wednesday.
