Students in chef hats

If you have an incoming kindergartner, please take the time to practice these skills to help them when they come to school.

  • Using the bathroom independently (wiping themselves, flushing, washing hands & getting dressed)

  • Opening their lunchbox and food items

  • Recognizing their name in print

  • Undoing, buttoning up, or tying anything they're wearing

  • How to get dressed for winter recess

  • Tying their shoelaces (if they can't tie their shoelaces independently, send them to school with shoes they can put on themselves)

And don't forget to attend Back to School Night Monday, 8/12 from 4pm to 6pm. Your kindergartener's teacher will have all the information you and your student need to feel prepared and informed for the first week of school and the rest of the school year.
