Welcome Kindergarten Families!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. I speak from our entire Globe PARK Community that we are beyond excited to welcome you to Globe. We can never minimize the power of education and the bright future our students can have when we put their education first!
Kindergarten can be very exciting for our little ones but also a time when anxiety might kick in. Rest assured, we see this often and will make their first year of school as special as we can! Having said that, we are doing things a bit different this year in the district for our kindergarten friends.
Our Open House for Kindergarten will be on Monday, August 26th at 3:30. All our kindergarten families will meet in the cafeteria and have the opportunity to meet the teachers and ask as many questions as you would like. Then families will be asked to fill out all important paperwork and have an opportunity to visit our kindergarten rooms. This year we are not assigning students to a specific teacher until the first week of September. Instead, we will be doing some informal assessing, playtime and getting to-know-you activities to balance our classrooms. This is done to meet the needs of our new students coming in. You will receive a letter with a teacher assignment on the Friday before the long weekend.
I’m sure you have many questions and we look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our Globe family.
Monday, August 26th, from 3:30-5:30 pm.
