Jump Start

Due to budget reductions, the Jump Start program will not be offered in August 2024. 

Jump Start was a four-day, three-hour optional program designed for incoming kindergarteners by familiarizing them with the school environment before the official start of the school year. 

While the Jump Start program won't be offered this year, we remain committed to supporting a smooth transition for incoming kindergarteners and their families.

School Tours: Get familiar with your child's future learning environment by attending a tour. Check your school's calendar on their website for upcoming tours led by the principal.

Family Connection Meetings: Family Connection Meetings are an opportunity for each family to have a dedicated 20 minutes to meet with their child's kindergarten teacher. This personalized time allows parents/guardians to ask questions, address any concerns, and get acquainted with the teacher. These meetings will take place the first week of September.

Mark your calendars for these important dates

Family Connection Meetings the first week of September: 
These meetings for the 2024-25 school year will take place between Wednesday, September 4, and Friday, September 6. Kindergarten teachers will reach out to parents and guardians with meeting dates and times as we get closer to September. There is no school for kindergarteners on these dates. 

The first day of kindergarten is Monday, September 9
Please note that the first day of school for all other grades is Wednesday, September 4. You can view your school’s start and dismissal times on our website

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact your child's school directly.
