Teacher Assignments
All students who have registered in the spring receive their teacher assignments from their new school during the Summer.
Please note that our Kindergarten teams develop class placements to create balanced groupings of students. Unfortunately, they are not able to honor teacher requests for the placement process.
Each family will have several opportunities to share information that will help our teaching teams to get to know your child better and assist with their transition to kindergarten. In addition, you will be able to provide us with input regarding any peer groupings (i.e. neighbors, friends from preschool, etc.) that you feel may be either beneficial or present potential challenges for your child's kindergarten transition.
When does school start?
The First Day of School for the 2026-27 School Year is TBD, pending school committee approval of the 2026-27 District Calendar.
Kindergarten students will begin schooling with a designated half-day of classes, as assigned by their school. Approximately half of a kindergarten classroom will attend school on one day; the other half will attend school on the second day; students will begin their first full day together on the third day.
No student may begin schooling until all steps of the registration process have been completed and all documentation has been received.
