Welcome to our Kindergarten online informational platform. Your child will be starting Kindergarten this August, and we are in the process of preparing for this exciting moment in your child's life! We understand that the decision to send your child to Conestoga may be a choice and we appreciate you choosing us!
We invite you to check out our Kindergarten program and email us any questions you may have. Communication is the key to success! We will meet face to face again in August prior to the start of the school year at our KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION! At this event, you and your child will be able to meet your child's teacher, visit the classrooms, drop off school supplies and hear all the fabulous things that will take place during their Kindergarten year. This Open House/Orientation will be on a different day than the district open house. This will be only for the Kindergarten student and their parent/parents/guardians.

What I love about Conestoga:
I love the Conestoga community and the staff! We have outstanding staff that consistently go above and beyond in their efforts to support students. The PTO is very supportive of the school and finds ways to enrich the students’ lives in and out of the classroom. The community itself is very welcoming and is a great place to live.
