Kindergarten Music Concert & Gallery Walk - Friday, April 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM

We are so excited for our upcoming Kindergarten Music Concert! The concert will take place this Friday, April 24 starting at 2:00 PM at the Primary Center. Please note that our concert will take place in the Primary Center gymnasium.

In conjunction with the Kindergarten concert, we will be hosting a kindergarten art gallery walk! There will be a map printed on the back of your concert program that will guide your art gallery tour. After the concert, you may go pick up your child from their designated area and do the gallery walk together. With this event taking place near the end of our school day, we simply ask that you complete your gallery walk no later than 2:50 PM so that we can safely clear the hallways to get our students ready for dismissal.

Due to our construction, guests should enter using the following PC doors:

Door 1 - Main Front Doors
Door 5 - South Side of Building by Dumpsters
Door 9 - North Side of Building

The stairs on the west side of the gym are no longer available. Guests may begin entering the PC starting at 1:30 PM. Guests will not be permitted into the building before 1:30 PM. We are encouraging families to park on Academy St. and 2nd St. There will only be minimal parking available in the PC lot and down in the ELC lot.

In our gymnasium, we will have bleacher and chair seating. We ask that the chair seating be reserved for visitors with mobility limitations, parents with small children, and as overflow seating once the bleachers are full.

At the end of the concert, teachers will be taking their students to a designated area. Parents will be dismissed by class to check in with the classroom teacher and pick up their child and then complete the art gallery walk.

The children are very excited about performing for us, and sharing their artwork! Thank you for being a part of this event. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Vajda, Music Teacher, Ms. Godfrey, Art Teacher & Mrs. Johnson, Principal

To ensure a smooth transition for both summer programs and the upcoming fall term, please keep your student’s current bus badge attached to their backpack.

What You Need to Know:

Who this applies to: All students currently in 4K through 1st Grade.
The Plan: Students will continue to use their current badges for the 2026-2027 school year.
