Kindergarten Staggered Start Dates
We are excited, once again, to incorporate a staggered start for our Kindergarten students for the 2022-2023 school year. Half of our K students will start on Thursday, August 2 and the other half will start on Friday, August 3. ALL K students will resume their daily schedules on Monday, August 6. This staggering allows students to ease into their classrooms, new classmates, teachers, and learning routines at a nice pace.
