Kindergarten Winter Concerts--Plan B!
Our kindergarten students have been practicing several songs with their music teachers, Mrs. Panos and Mr. Popadic, preparing for their winter concert.
Group 1: Kennedy, Griffith & Haight
Group 2: Mullen, Scanlon & Mallar
Group 3: Dinger, Hogan & McDonnell
Please note the change of plans---
Due to the lack of available parking because of the snow, we will film each group's performance and share a link with families to be able to have a "viewing party" at home and also have a keepsake of the concert!

Current Esten Preschool Students Entering Kindergarten Next Year
You will not need to register for kindergarten since you are already enrolled as a 4-year-old in our Esten preschool program. Mrs. Makarski will move your child forward to kindergarten since we have all your information. Please inform Mrs. Makarski if you plan on moving from Rockland before we begin kindergarten in September of 2026.
