KINDER KAMP Parents/Guardians, The Kindergarten year is an extremely important and exciting year for both you and your child. The year marks the transition from home or preschool to elementary and is a year where your child will go through many changes. Kinder Kamp was created to allow your child more time to make this significant change without rushing into a new environment unprepared. We want to give you and your child a snapshot of the organized, social learning environment that exists on a day to day basis in kindergarten.

Kinder Kamp will help ease both the child’s and parent’s anxiety entering into the first day of school. Both parent and child will get a chance to spend an enjoyable time getting acquainted with the school and classroom procedures, the teachers, and fellow classmates. The incoming kindergartener will get the chance to experience his/her new school without the overwhelming anxiety the presence of 900 other students can cause.

Kinder Kamp is scheduled for ** Thursday, August 14, 2014 from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. ****A child can only attend if an adult accompanies him/her.** __No siblings may attend this session.__ Supplies and completed paperwork will be brought during the regular supply drop off night for students in the school. Below is a snapshot of the schedule:
