NEW: Kinder Camp Days<\/h3><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n
\r\nThis year, our K team will be implementing a more developmentally appropriate approach to the Kindergarten year by starting the year off with \"Kinder Camp\"!<\/strong> The first 18 days of school for K students will be from 8:20-11:40 daily. During this time, students will engage in summer camp-like activities and games lead by each of the K teachers. Students will be assigned to a K teacher for the first day of school. This teacher will be their Kinder Camp Leader. At the end of the 18 days, official class rosters will be created with a balanced group of students who will then be assigned to their homeroom teacher for the rest of the school year. More information will be shared at the K Meet & Greet on Friday, August 8, 2025 at 9:30.<\/strong>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n
