First Day of Classes 

Kindergarten: The transition to Kindergarten is an exciting first step in your child’s educational journey.  In order to make the transition as smooth as possible, we will be having a staggered entry approach.  This will allow students to meet the teachers and spend time in the classroom in smaller groups for orientation.  Kindergarten students will come for a portion of the day on September 1, 2022.  There will be no Kindergarten classes on Friday, September 2.  Our alternating Friday schedule will begin with the morning Kindergarten classes on September 9, 2022.
