 Science Fair

We are very excited about our Seventh Annual Science Week which was held last March 23 – 27th!  We had wonderful individual projects from all of our children in grades one through six.  Kindergarten's contribution was a class project that they shared with our guest judges as well.  Some of the week’s hi-lites included speakers, demonstrations, The Mad Scientists Ball sponsored and hosted by our SAC, and an awards celebration on the Friday.

Congratulations to all our students for successful science projects this year!

Welcome to Kindergarten Program!

Some feedback from teachers and parents have included:

“This is a great idea. It helped both of us a lot. We are still using everything.”

“Excellent idea to help parents understand what their child should know before starting school.”

“My daughter felt proud having so many new things of her own. She liked to cut and paste and read the book.”

     In the spring before starting kindergarten, three and four year old children are given preparatory resources and experiences to position them for school success and lifelong learning. Parents/caregivers and children are invited to attend a Welcome to Kindergarten™ orientation at their neighborhood school where they receive the early learning resources in the Welcome to Kindergarten Bag and learn strategies for using the resources at home. At the orientation, families connect with kindergarten teachers, school resource personnel and staff from community support agencies. These early years educators provide training on why family planned activity using the resources in the Welcome to Kindergarten Bag will help their children be better prepared for school and learning.
