District to Offer Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Jump Start Program Starting July 26

Disponible en: Español

Enroll your child today to participate in this specialized academic program that provides a unique summer experience and gives our youngest learners a jump start in their education.

The district developed the four-day program to support students in their educational journey. The experience will create a positive, strong transition for young learners entering their first school experience — prekindergarten and kindergarten — in the 2021-2022 school year.

If your prekindergarten student learned at home in the 2020-2021 school year due to the pandemic, the four-day program is crucial for your child. The program will ensure students start kindergarten prepared. Students learn best in the classroom with a teacher and their classmates.

The program will focus on intensive social-emotional learning skills and help students understand school expectations. Young children need to form a transition from being at home to learning at school. From infancy on, children count on rituals and routines to offer comfort and security. The students will develop rituals and routines to start the school year off on a positive note at the program.
