Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year
Get ready for the new year with these key dates and times, school supply lists, and other information.
First Day of Classes
Kindergarten
The first day of kindergarten will be a staggered entry on either Tuesday September 2nd and 4th or September 3rd and 5th.
Staggered Entry for kindergarten serves multiple purposes, primarily focused on easing the transition for both students and teachers. It allows for smaller class sizes during the initial days, enabling teachers to provide more individualized attention, assess students' needs, and introduce new routines and safety measures in a less overwhelming environment. This approach also helps reduce student anxiety and allows for smoother communication of school expectations.
During Staggered Entry your child will have a kindergarten experience and will not be placed in an assigned classroom or with an assigned teacher until the end of the first week. There are no classroom or teacher assignments for Kindergarten students prior to September 8th. There will be further communication from the school.
Teachers spend the time during staggered entry getting to know all the children, and then thoughtfully create classroom lists that help promote a balanced learning experience for all children.
Staggered Entry dates and times are as follows:
Tuesday / Thursday students:
Tuesday, September 2, 9:30am to 11:30am – Last names A-J
