Kindergarten Smart Start Information

This year's schedule includes  two days where students will be separated into cohorts based on last name.  Under this arrangement, one cohort will attend class while the other group is out of school on Thursday, Sept. 5, with the cohorts reversed during the second day on Friday, Sept. 6. This schedule allows our educators to get to know the students in a smaller group setting and learn how to best prepare for a year of growth

Kindergarten Smart Start, Sept. 4–13, 2024

• Last name A–L: Attend Sept. 4 (W), 5 (Th) and 9–11 (M–W)
• Last name M–Z: Attend Sept. 4 (W), 6 (F) and 9–11 (M–W)

No Kindergarten Sept. 12 & 13 (parent-teacher conversations)
Regular school schedule begins on Monday, Sept. 16

Providing this unique start allows for smaller classes and time to connect with families, giving teachers the opportunity to understand your child’s unique strengths as well as their academic and social needs from the very beginning. Kindergarten Smart Start will help ensure a successful and personalized introduction to school for each student and a smoother start for all students.
