Parent/Student Handbook
The 2024-25 Parent/Student Handbook offers information pertinent to the District as a whole. Some programs and procedures may differ from school to school, based on the size and location of the building, the grades served, the facilities available, and the programs conducted at the school. Your school administrators will inform you of these additional procedures. The handbook is intended to be a handy resource, but is not meant to take the place of personal communication between home and school.
Welcome to Kindergarten (Guide for Parents)
The Welcome to Kindergarten (Guide for Parents) answers general questions regarding kindergarten programs offered, enrollment requirements, how to register your child for school, important dates, and links to additional information to start your journey.
