Event: Kindergarten Parent Information Nights

Kindergarten Information Nights at the elementary schools are the perfect time to ask questions, gather more information about choices, and to meet other parents who will attend your child's school. These meetings are designed for parents of children entering kindergarten in the fall, but are open to any family wanting to learn more about the schools. You are welcome to attend any information night.

Event: Kindergarten Roundup

Mark your calendar for Kindergarten Roundup at your child's school. No matter what your kindergarten choice, all kindergarten families are highly encouraged to attend their school's Kindergarten Roundup. At Kindergarten Roundup, students will be involved in a number of kindergarten activities to acquaint them with teachers and classrooms. Parents will receive important information from the principal, school nurse, transportation supervisor, and Kids & Company staff. Can't make it? Be sure to call your school to receive necessary information.

Event: Kindergarten Bridge: Explore the Rooms

Kindergarten Bridge is a great opportunity for your child to get comfortable in a kindergarten room before school actually starts. You will have a chance to meet children who will be in your child's kindergarten class, as well as their parents. You will learn strategies to enhance your child's kindergarten experience. This event is free, but space is limited. Registration is required, call 952-988-5000. Attendance is encouraged but not required.
