First Day of Classes
Our first day of classes is Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. Our school office opens Monday, Aug. 29, 2022.
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.
Starting Tuesday September 6, 2022 Kindergarten bell times are:
- 8:40 AM – 11:30 PM (morning class)
- 12:40 PM – 3:30 PM (afternoon class)
