EPS welcomes Kindergarten & K5 fall enrollees to WELCOME WEEK
EPS will offer a WELCOME WEEK for fall enrollment. Families will schedule an Enrollment Session during the week of April 4-8. Teachers will give each future Pony a quick assessment and playtime while parents/guardians fill out forms, ask questions, and learn about the reading, writing, and math curriculum used at EPS. Once the enrollment session is finished, students will receive a free Summer Kit to enjoy over the summer at home.
Then on the evening of Friday, April 8th, families will return for a guided tour of the building at their reserved time. Families will also get a chance to visit the parent volunteers from the PTO while their child plays on the playground.
Parents/Guardians must fill out this form to reserve their times for the Enrollment Session and the Open House. Time slots will be removed as they fill.
EPS offers TWO different programs; Traditional Kindergarten and their K5 program. More information is available below for families interested in the K5 program. Click here for more informaiton.
