Kindergarten Staggered Entry

To help our youngest learners ease into the school year, kindergarten students will begin with a staggered entry schedule. During the first four days, students will attend school in small groups based on the first letter of their last name. This approach provides a more personalized and comfortable start. All kindergarten students will begin attending together on Monday, August 18th. Staggered Entry Schedule: August 11th – Students with last names starting with A–F August 12th – Students with last names starting with G–K August 13th – Students with last names starting with L–R August 14th – Students with last names starting with S–Z If you have any questions about your child’s assigned day, please contact the school office.

    We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences, including when and how they receive notifications.

    ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home. Learn more about ParentSquare.

  • Edulog is an app that lets parents view the location of their student's school bus to gauge arrival times each day. The app sends a push notification to the parent's smartphone when the bus enters a user-defined geographic area around the stop. Parents only receive access by registering with data unique to their child. It's all information to help parents feel secure about their child's trip on the school bus!
