Kindergarten 

We will be having a staggered entry format on the first day of school: Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. There will be no classes for Kindergarten classes on Friday Sept. 2, 2022. During the staggered entry on the first day, kindergarten students will follow the following schedule: 

  • AM Kindergarten Students with last names beginning A – H – 9:00 to 10:00 am
  • AM Kindergarten Students with last names beginning I – Z – 10:30 to 11:30 am
  • PM Kindergarten Students with last names beginning A – H – 1:00 to 2:00 pm
  • PM Kindergarten Students with last names beginning I – Z – 2:30 – 3:30 pm

This enables teachers to introduce students to class routines in a smaller group setting and also allows more opportunity to meet parents and get to know the students.  Please contact the school if you are unsure of your child's start time.
