Welcome Back!

 

Our school adventures begin with an Open House on September 7th in order to minimize confusion and maximize the opportunity for your child to become acquainted with the total environment.  Check above for the times.  Extended Day students, you will have the opportunity to meet with your kindergarten teacher during the open house.

 

The beginning of the children's daily experience will begin at a slow pace with 1/3 of each class being added each day Wednesday through Friday.  On September 8th, the three-year-old children will attend class.  On September 9th, the three- and four-year-old children will attend class.  On September 10th, the three-, four- and five-year-old children will attend class.  Wednesday through Friday the class times will be two hours.  The times are as follows:  West A.M., 8:30 -10:30 a.m.; East A.M., 8:45 - 10:45 a.m.; West P.M., 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.; East P.M., 12:45 - 2:45 p.m.  Regular class times will commence on Monday, September 13th. 

 

Toddler parents, please refer to your paperwork as to your child's schedule during his/her first week of school.
