Kindergarten Ramp Up Days
This year, we are excited to be participating in our district-wide Ramp Up to K-1! The Ramp Up will allow (1) all Kindergarten students to participate in a small-group “warm-up” day prior to the first day of Kindergarten and (2) all Kindergarten families to have a one-on-one connection with their teacher prior to the first day of Kindergarten. “Warm-up” days will be scheduled on either September 3rd or 7th and the first full day of Kindergarten for all students will be September 8th. Our school office will be in touch with each family to assign you to a specific “warm-up” day and to schedule a time slot for your one-on-one family connection.
1st Grade Ramp Up Days
This year, we are excited to be participating in our district-wide Ramp Up to K-1! The Ramp Up will allow all 1st grade families to have a one-on-one connection with their teacher prior to the first day of school. One-on-one connections will be scheduled on September 1st and the first day of First Grade for all students will be September 2nd. Our school office will be in touch with each family to schedule a time slot for your one-on-one family connection.
Kinder and 1st Grade Family Socials
On your students' first day of school you are invited to join the Bridger PTA and Administration for coffee and donuts in the Water Garden, after you drop your child off on the first day of school. Current Bridger parents will be there to welcome you and answer any questions you might have about the Bridger community. We know the first day of school is an exciting and sometimes emotional experience for both kids and parents, and we’re here to support you!
