Welcome to Kindergarten. Watch our ClassTag page!

Hello Families!

As with years past, Kindergarten will have a gradual beginning to school. The first few days will consist of student-teacher-parent meetings so I can get to know your child and see what they know before we begin school whole-heartedly. These meetings will consist of your child, you, and myself. We will talk about your child’s likes, dislikes, strengths, and areas for growth. We will also go over important details like after school plans and snacks, and discuss classroom and academic expectations.

I will do some simple assessments for your child so I know what they know coming into class. These assessments will also help me get moving forward with our annual state WAKids assessments that all full-day Kindergarten classes within the state must complete. These evaluations are exhaustive, including everything from students' understanding of letters and numbers to their social skills and reasoning capabilities. Getting to know your child one-on-one helps me make accurate judgements without the distraction of other students. These meetings are very important, and I cannot wait to see you all beginning the week of September 7th!

First week of Kindergarten schedule:

  • Tuesday, September 7 - Student-Teacher-Parent Meetings (parents should check ClassTag for dates and times available)
  • Wednesday, September 8 - Student-Teacher-Parent Meetings
  • Thursday, September 9 - ½ Day for Kindergarten from 8:30-noon, then Student-Teacher-Parent Meetings in the afternoon

    4. Sign-ups will be live the week school begins. You can either sign-up directly on ClassTag or you can sign-up when you come in for your meeting.
