The Kindergarten Center’s lobby doors open at 8:30 and close at 8:45.\u00a0 Dismissal is at 2:35.\u00a0 Information regarding before and aftercare, Bulldog Care, will be sent to all registered families later this month.\u00a0 Registration is on a first come basis.\u00a0 Children have 2 options for lunch the month of September – bring a lunch from home (we do not heat lunches) or order through the district’s lunch service (information will be provided to parents in August.)\u00a0 PTA options will be shared in September and will begin in October.\u00a0 The Kindergarten Center will support your child’s academic, social, and emotional growth throughout the year.\u00a0 To better prepare your child for the start of the year, it is important to foster their independence as best you can.\u00a0 Opportunities for growth include self-help skills (self-care, dressing, opening and closing containers), communication (communicating needs, personal information-name, parents’ names) and social skills (increasing frustration tolerance, turn-taking, losing a game, playing a game a different way, waiting).\u00a0 We look forward to having your child with us and hope the links below are helpful as well!<\/p>\n
