Connect to Kindergarten

  • The first proper day of kindergarten for all students is Tuesday, September 3, but there are two important events prior to that day:

    • All families will meet with their teacher for a one-on-one family meeting either August 27 or 28.
    • Half of the students will have a practice first day of school on August 29, and the other half will come for their first day on August 30.

    In mid-August, your child's teacher will reach out to you to schedule both the family meeting and the practice first day of school.   This schedule leaves some uncertainty prior to September 3, but the gentle approach allows students to ease into their kindergarten year with time to get to know their teacher and the classroom.
