Back to School
Kindergarten Registration
Monday August 3rd
8:00am-10:00am 10:00am-12:00am 1:00pm-3:00pm
Kindergarten Orientation is an exciting opportunity for our newest students and families to visit the school, meet staff, and become familiar with the kindergarten environment before the first day of school. Parents will be notified of their assigned session time. During orientation, students will participate in a brief assessment with school staff to help us learn more about their skills and abilities. This information will be used to thoughtfully place students in the classroom setting where they can best learn and grow. We look forward to welcoming our future kindergarteners and helping them get off to a great start!
