News For Incoming Kindergarten Students
Now in its 5th 
year, the Kindergarten Smart Start program is a carefully designed process intended to ensure a successful transition into kindergarten for your child.
During the first week of school, your child will attend school one day. During the second week of school, from Monday through Thursday, your child will attend school on a staggered start, a half-day either in the morning or afternoon. This will enable kindergarten staff to:
- Introduce your child to school in small groups with a supportive team of educators
- Teach expectations and routines as they learn about recess on the playground
- Teach cafeteria procedures as they eat lunch
- Assess students in academic areas and school readiness activities in small groups
- Meet with families to learn more about your child
- Determine classroom assignments to best meet the educational needs of every child
Smart Start also allows time for you to meet with your child’s kindergarten teacher before the school year begins. At this meeting, you can help the teacher get to know your child and ask any questions you may have about the upcoming school year.
During registration, you will sign up for a time to meet with your child’s classroom teacher on Thursday, September 5th or Friday, September 6th and indicate a preference for either the morning or afternoon for staggered start the second week of school (September 9-13). Your school will notify you of the exact time of your parent/teacher meeting and confirm your staggered start time.

Ahora en su quinto año, el programa del inicio inteligente es un proceso cuidadosamente diseñado destinado a garantizar una transición exitosa al jardín de infantes para su hijo.
Durante la primera semana de clases, su hijo asistirá a la escuela algún día. Durante la segunda semana de clases, de lunes a jueves, su hijo asistirá a la escuela de manera escalonada, medio día, ya sea por la mañana o por la tarde. Esto permitirá que el personal de jardín de infantes:
- Presente a su hijo a la escuela en pequeños grupos con un equipo de educadores de apoyo.
- Enseñe expectativas y rutinas a medida que aprenden sobre el recreo en el patio de recreo.
- Enseñe los procedimientos de la cafetería mientras almuerzan.
- Evaluar a los estudiantes en áreas académicas y actividades de preparación escolar en grupos pequeños.
- Reúnase con las familias para aprender más sobre su hijo.
- Determinar las tareas en el aula para satisfacer mejor las necesidades educativas de cada niño.
Smart Start también le da tiempo para reunirse con la maestra de kindergarten de su hijo antes de que comience el año escolar. En esta reunión, puede ayudar al maestro a conocer a su hijo y hacer cualquier pregunta que pueda tener sobre el próximo año escolar.
Durante el registro, se inscribirá por un tiempo para reunirse con el maestro de su hijo el jueves 5 de septiembre o el viernes 6 de septiembre e indicará una preferencia por la mañana o la tarde para el comienzo escalonado de la segunda semana de clases. (9-13 de septiembre). Su escuela le notificará la hora exacta de la reunión de padres / maestros y confirmará su hora de inicio escalonada.

We would like to send out a special thank you to the companies that donated snacks, gum, fresh fruit and vegetables, bottled water, and hardware to create our snack shacks. It was because of you, that we were able to make testing week a rewarding, positive, and meaningful week for our students.
Thank you to:
• Emerald Fruit and Produce
• Bigfoot Beverages
• McDonald Wholesale
• Winco Foods
• Jerry’s
• Cash and Carry
• Albertsons
With your help we were able to serve over 500 students fresh fruit and vegetables, granola bars, teddy grams, jolly ranchers, gum, and water during our 3-8th grade state testing weeks. Teachers and students were so appreciative of your amazing generosity. These snacks were a huge success because we were able to nourish our kids as they worked diligently on doing their very best on their state assessments. Kudos to these businesses, for understanding the importance of giving back to their communities. We are so thankful and appreciative of your generous spirit.
Thank you again for all that you do for our community, students and their families.
