Save the Date, Kindergarten Families! We will welcome our youngest Cubs on August 5th from 12-6 for Kindergarten Orientation and Brigance Testing. During a one hour time slot, your child will spend time in a kindergarten classroom and complete Brigance Testing. Families will meet school staff, hear about school procedures and policies, take a tour of the school, and get answers to all of your questions.

Each registered kindergarten family will receive a link the first week in July to sign up for your one hour time slot between 12-6 on August 5th.

Not registered? Be sure to complete your kindergarten registration before July 1 so that we know you are coming and so that you receive important announcements from the school. Here's the link to register: https://www.scott.kyschools.us/cta-button
