Playground - IN PROGRESS
CLOSED
The majority of the new structures are up and in place. We've moved to the final phase of tweaks and finishes! The playground still needs to pass the final inspection, so the structures are closed right now. We appreciate the community staying off of the new equipment until the orange fencing has been removed. Thank you!
KINDERGARTEN - Balanced Beginnings
Welcome to Kindergarten!
You will be receiving a more detailed email with information about Balanced Beginnings, but here is an overview of what to expect!
Wednesday, August 13 - Sign up for a time slot (this will be the only time your child attends today). We want to get to know all of our Kindergarten students before they start, so we can build classrooms that are balanced and will meet the needs of every student. Your child will work with a variety of staff members to show off all of their amazing skills!
Thursday, August 14 - Your child will only attend a 1/2 day today. You will be given two options (AM or PM). They will get to meet other students, all of the teachers, and play games together! This helps us get to know groups of students and how they work together.
Friday, August 15 - Your child will NOT attend school today. The teachers will be building class rosters and will announce your child's teacher by the mid-afternoon. You will be welcome to come to school during the school supply drop off at 4:30-5pm!
Monday, August 18 - FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR KINDERGARTEN!!! This can be an emotional day for our parents, so please join our NE/MVE PTO for the Kiss 'n Cry event after your child enters the building at 9:00am!
