Kindergarten teachers help students board the school bus
All Kindergarten-bound children will have the opportunity to ride to the Public Elementary School in a big yellow school bus with their preschool teachers. The bus stops at the four preschools on North Beach Road. The first stop is Kaleidoscope at 9:05. The bus will then continue back to town stopping at the Montessori School, Salmonberry and Children’s House preschools. Parents do not need to accompany their children on this trip. Parents are welcome to join us for lunch in the school cafeteria at 11 am.
Children will meet Kindergarten teacher, Mathew Chasanoff, visit the kindergarten classroom, and tour the school. Children will also have the opportunity to spend some time in the school garden. After the tour, children will go with their preschool teachers to the cafeteria for a free lunch. Parents can join us for lunch for $5 or bring their own. After lunch, the bus will return the children to their preschools around noon.
If your child does not attend preschool but will be entering Kindergarten this fall, he or she can catch the bus at Kaleidoscope on North Beach Rd. This free event is a wonderful opportunity for children to become familiar with the school and kindergarten classroom!
Please sign your child up at his/her preschool. Please also indicate whether or not you will be joining us for lunch so the school cafeteria can better prepare for our visit. If your child does not have a preschool, you may sign your child up by calling the Orcas Community Resource Center @ 376.3184.
The Kindergarten Transition Program is sponsored by ECEAP, Orcas Community Resource Center and by a local donor
