Welcome to Kindergarten!
Kindergarten doesn't have to be a stressful time for parents and children - with some preparation, the first day of kindergarten can be a day everyone looks forward to!

What does a Kindergarten student learn? or... Don't they just paint all day?
NO!! Kindergarten is very different than in days past. Check out the NC Parent's Guide to Student Success in Kindergarten.
Project Enlightenment is a resource many families with pre-school and kindergarten students find helpful. Check out their website to learn more!

Getting Ready for Kindergarten
(Project Enlightenment)
- Come visit the school! Schedule a time to volunteer in your child's class or in another part of the school.
- Read books about school. Check out our books in our media center.
- Get structure! Practice daily routines and bed times - don't start on that first day!
- Arrange for an older sibling or neighbor to be a special buddy to your child (especially if your child walks or rides the bus).
