Welcome to Kindergarten
at the Broadmeadow School!
January 31, 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians of Incoming Kindergartners,
Welcome to the Broadmeadow School! We are excited that your child will join our community this fall. Kindergarten registration is now open. If you have not yet started the process, we encourage you to make completing registration a priority. The registration deadline is April 1, 2024.
Registration for bus transportation will begin on April 2, 2024 and end on May 14, 2024. More details will be provided at Know Your School Night or contact the transportation department directly with any questions.
Later in the spring, we will send out a communication regarding opportunities for you to get to know our school better. This will include a screening day when we will invite students to come to Broadmeadow so that we can learn more about them and how we can best support them in the fall. Additionally, on the evening of Wednesday, May 15, 2024 from 6:30 to 7:30, you are invited to attend a Broadmeadow specific Kindergarten Parent/Guardian Orientation. During our presentation, we will focus on providing you with a sense of what kindergarten will look like here at Broadmeadow. You will have a chance to hear from our administrative, guidance, nursing and teaching staff. The evening will end with a general question and answer period.
In the meantime, I encourage you to complete the online enrollment and registration process. All of the steps to complete registration are itemized at the bottom of this newsletter. In addition, there are four Broadmeadow specific forms we are asking all of our incoming kindergarten families to complete. Links to all of these online forms can be found directly below this section, or in the left column on the Broadmeadow Incoming 24-25 Kindergarten Information Page. A link to the kindergarten page is located to the left of the Welcome to Broadmeadow Message on the Broadmeadow Home Page.
If you have any questions, feel free to email our Lead Secretary, Roberta Redpath, or call 781-455-0448 x 51306.
Sincerely,
Andy Garlick, Principal
