*NEW*Parent Teacher Conferences
We are looking forward to discussing your child’s progress in 4K during our spring conference window March 11-22. Teachers will provide more information about your conference date, time, and format. No report cards are provided at this time, but your child’s teacher will update you on your child’s progress in 4K. The 4K year is one of remarkable growth and we look forward to meeting with you in March to discuss your child’s progress.
*New*Madison Reading Project & Free books for children aged 0-5
Madison Reading Project is the official Literacy Champion of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for all of Dane County! The Imagination Library puts books into the hands and hearts of children across the world.
Through this exciting partnership, registered children from birth to age five will receive a high-quality, age-appropriate book each month, personalized with the child’s name and mailed directly to the child’s home, to create a gifting experience that makes books exciting and ignites the joy of reading.
We are sharing this information because your family may have younger children, aged 0-5, who would be eligible for this opportunity from this local, non-profit organization.
