What to Expect in Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a full-day program, and regular attendance is important to help students build confidence, routines, and strong learning habits. 

Students will:

  • Learn early reading and writing skills
  • Practice counting, adding, and subtracting
  • Build friendships and social skills
  • Follow routines and classroom expectations
  • Explore through hands-on learning and play

Find out more about what kindergarteners will learn and get ready for the first day of kindergarten.

Open House and

These events are a great chance to:

  • Visit the classroom
  • Learn about arrival and dismissal procedures
  • Get transportation and child care information
  • Ask questions and prepare for the first day

Contact your school for additional open house information.
