Welcome to Kindergarten at Tuscan!
The Kindergarten Experience at Tuscan School is an exciting time for all of us and we are dedicated to providing our students with a safe, healthy, and nurturing Tuscan School experience.
Please join us for a Virtual Kindergarten Parent Orientation on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022 from 10:00am to 11:00 am. More information and the link for you to join us virtually are provided in this special edition of the Tuscan Tidings.
We are delighted to provide an In-person Incoming Kindergarten Orientation on Friday, June 10th, 2022. This is an opportunity for our incoming Kindergarten children to meet our wonderful teachers and experience learning at Tuscan in a Kindergarten classroom. Information about the In-person Incoming Kindergarten Orientation can also be found in this special edition of the Tuscan Tidings. As soon as possible, please look for the link to select a time for your child to join us at Tuscan on Friday, June 10th, 2022.
To help us get to know your child better please complete the updated online Kindergarten Parent Survey as soon as possible prior your child's In-person Incoming Kindergarten Orientation on Friday, June 10th, 2022.
To enhance your child’s Tuscan experience, we are fortunate to have a supportive, actively involved and generous parent community. The Tuscan PTA works closely with the school to provide enriching experiences for Tuscan children and families. On Friday, June 10th, 2022 while your child is attending Kindergarten Orientation, incoming Kindergarten parents are invited to a Tuscan PTA social outside of Tuscan on the front lawn.
The Tuscan PTA website offers a wealth of information about Tuscan school and PTA sponsored programs and events including the Tuscan PTA Walk-A-Thon. If you have not already done so please consider joining the Tuscan PTA and signing up for the Tuscan PTA newsletter.
We are looking forward to meeting you and our new Kindergarten Tuscan Tigers!
Sincerely,
~Ms. Majeed
