Our staff and students are eager to welcome our Kindergarteners on Thursday, August 21. We have already asked our older students to lend a helping hand to our newest students should they need one. We are excited for them to begin what we know will be an amazing year of making new friends, learning new things, and developing a love for school.
Classroom teachers will greet the kindergarten students outside starting at 8:15 AM on the first day of school only in the back on blacktop (map attached at the bottom of this email titled “Collins Kindergarten First Day Line Up 2025). Lining up outside will provide you the opportunity to see your child’s teacher, snap a photo and wish them a great day. Students will enter the building together with their teacher through Door 8. We ask that you say good-bye to your child at the school doors. Only students will enter the building, even on the first day of school.
At the end of the day, if your kindergartener is a busser, the teachers and patrols will put them on their bus. If your kindergartener attends a KinderCare or KASPER, they will be escorted to the appropriate location. If they are a walker, teachers will meet the parents/guardians at their assigned exit door.
