Staggered Entry Information:
The first week of school is called staggered entry (August 24-27). During this week, your kindergarten student will only come to school one day that week. Kindergarten Staggered Entry is an opportunity for students to be introduced to Barton Pond in small groups, and for staff to begin to get to know students’ academic and social needs. It is a fun day for students where they will meet each teacher, make new friends, take a tour of the school, and participate in a variety of activities. Information gathered during your child’s staggered entry day will help us to build our class lists. Our first full day of school together will be Monday, August 30th.
