Kindergarten Spartan Launch
Welcome Kindergarten Families,
I hope you have been having a wonderful summer. I can’t believe the start of the school year is right around the corner. I know you are probably eager to know what the first week of school will look like for you incoming kindergarteners. All incoming kindergarteners will be assessed during the first week of school and placed in teacher classrooms. Therefore, you will not know your teacher until Thursday, Aug 11. Our delayed kindergarten start aims to ensure that our classrooms contain a heterogeneous mix of learners, so our teachers can provide exceptional instruction to all students. Please read the information below regarding our Kindergarten Spartan Launch. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
In Partnership,
Amie McElroy, Elementary Director
All STEM kindergarten students are invited to Kindergarten Spartan Launch. This is an abbreviated school day where students will meet all the teachers and staff, tour the school, engage in STEM activities, and be informally assessed for classroom placement. We ask that all kindergarten students attend ONE SESSION on either of the dates below.
Available session options will be:
August 9
- AM Session from 8:30-10 a.m.
- PM Session from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
August 10
- AM Session from 8:30-10 a.m.
- PM Session from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
August 11
- AM Session from 8:30-10 a.m.
Please use the link below to sign-up for one of the sessions listed above. If you have more than one child entering kindergarten, please sign-up for each student individually.
Parents will receive classroom and teacher notification on the afternoon of Thursday, Aug.11. The first day of kindergarten will be on Friday, Aug. 12. To ease parents and students in the initial drop-off and the transition into kindergarten, Friday, Aug. 12 will be a half day from 8:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.
The first full day of kindergarten will be Monday, Aug. 15 (7:40 a.m. – 2:25 p.m.). Teachers will meet students out front of the Elementary School Entrance driveline drop-off area. Please be on the lookout for an email from our kindergarten team of teachers later this summer.
