Soft Start to Kindergarten
Soft Start is a district initiative focused on a slower transition for our youngest students into elementary school. The following information is the agenda for the first two weeks of school.
- Monday, August 30th: (lunch will not be provided)
- 8:50 am – Kindergarten students will be escorted directly to their classrooms by a school staff member.
- 12:05 pm: Since today is a half day for all students, transportation is available if your child is a busser. If your child is not a busser, please return to pick up your child in front of the school on the culver side. All parents park in the parking lot and wait on the sidewalk. Snow staff will escort students into the building parents are not allowed to escort their child into the classroom.
