Transition Events are intended to be social activities supported by many of the students in the child development programs and other volunteers. These activities are focused on care and connection. The hope is that your child will build friendships prior to school, and parents will build a network of support with other families.

Participation is optional.

Kindergarten Club events are more structured play dates facilitated by Preschool and Kindergarten teachers as well as program administrators. They include activities that will give your child a jumpstart for kindergarten and workshops for parents to build their confidence entering the school-age experience.

Participation is optional.

Scappoose School District calls the kindergarten registration event Kindergarten Connect. Future kindergarten students and their parent/caregiver can expect to learn about school, try a physical education class, tour the buildings, experience a structured play date and snack with other kids preparing for school. The adults will also learn about the parent organizations, summer supports, and how best to prepare for Kindergarten. Staff will provide instructions for registration and Kindergarten Camp Enrollment.

• Grant Watts Elementary, 5/4/22, 5:30-7 p.m.

• Warren Elementary, 5/3/22, 5:30-7 p.m.

*** you may want to attend both as our district has open boundaries and your child may be enrolled at either school

Participation should be prioritized.

This is a one-week, full-day, Kindergarten experience. It is the best way to prepare your future student for school.

As part of this FREE program, your incoming kindergarten student will:

• Be served snack and lunch daily.

• Learn important school routines.

• Create relationships with kindergarten teachers and building staff.

• Receive a jump start on learning reading, writing, and math skills.

• Have fun with other children at camp.

• Ease into the transition of full-day kindergarten.

• Enjoy after-camp enrichment opportunities with their families.

To enroll in KinderCamp, you must have first completed the school district registration process. Enrollment in Kindercamp is due by June 16th, so that we can plan for staffing, transportation, meals, and supplies. No exceptions are made.
