Kindergarten Parent Orientation

We highly recommend attending this orientation whether your family is new to Mullenix Ridge or not. We will cover all the nuts and bolts of kindergarten at Mullenix Ridge--popcorn Fridays, school supplies, dress code, attendance expectations/absence reporting, field trips, homework and more!
Kindergarten Parent Meetings
Days: August 26, 27 and 28: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Time: 30-45 minute one-on-one meeting with your child's teacher during the school day
Location: Your child's kindergarten classroom
Notes: This a one-on-one meeting with your child's teacher to learn more about your child. We will schedule these meetings after class lists are determined after Jump Start.
We would love your child to attend so our staff can do some assessments but if childcare is a problem, please do not worry--we will get the needed assessments done at a later date.
Kindergarten Slow Start
This is part of the regular school year.
Days: September 2-5: Tuesday-Friday
Time: Regular School Day 8:35-3:10
Location: Your child's kindergarten classroom (class lists will be announced after Jump Start.)
Notes: The slow start allows for students to transition into school with half the students in the classroom allowing more time to learn routines, have more one-on-one needs met and get comfortable with school.
Kindergarten students will attend two of the four days of school during this week--either an A day (Tuesday/Thursday) or a B day (Wednesday/Friday). This is normal school hours, normal transportation, lunch and specialists.
