Kindergarten students and their families from throughout the district had the chance to attend a number of kindergarten playdates and meet and greets before the official start of school on Sept. 7. These activities provided students with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings and get acquainted with their building principal.

The young students were able to meet new friends, enjoy refreshments and receive a tour of their new building, including visiting classrooms and special areas. Additionally, the students’ families had the chance to speak with staff members about school routines and practices to help ensure a smooth start to the 2017-18 school year.
