2016-17 After-Care Registration is Open
Playdate for Rising Kindergarten - First Grade Students
All rising pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first graders are invited to a
playdate, Saturday May 21st, from 9-11 a.m., at the Evansdale playground (behind the school). The playdate is informal - come for the whole time, come for a while, chat with other parents, and ask any questions you might have. Most of all, let the new eagles get to
know each other, and see that school is a fun place with a playground! We suggest you bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray.
