    TK & K INFORMATION FOR 2025-26

    For our families with TK or Kindergarten students:  Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, all TK and Kindergarten students will begin full-day schedules on the first day of school along with the grade 1-5 students. This means there will no longer be half-day “Kindergarten Introduction Days” during the first six weeks.  TK and Kindergarten students will attend school all day and follow the same start/end times as 1st - 5th grade students.
     
    See below for the slide presentations shown at the our TK/K Information evening.
