Kindergarten Play Date TODAY!

Kindergarten families - join us today at 3:30 p.m. on the Sylvan Park playground for popsicles and play time. Can't wait to get to know you!

Kindergarten Screening Days

The Kindergarten team will meet with incoming Kindergarten students by appointment on Wednesday, July 27th and Thursday, July 28th. This time together will help teachers plan instruction tailored to student needs starting on the first day of school. It also gives the students another opportunity to meet the Kindergarten teachers which can make for a smoother start to their Kindergarten year!

The screenings will be done one on one with your child and a Kindergarten teacher. The screening will take 10 minutes. Sign up here.

Kindergarten Coffee

All Kindergarten families are invited to join the Kindergarten teachers via Zoom for an informational meeting on Friday, August 5 from 8-9 a.m. to learn the ins and outs of starting at Sylvan Park. Zoom link to follow. We hope you can join us!

Kindergarten Tote Bags

Kindergarten students will NOT need a backpack as they will be using Sylvan Park tote bags. These bags fit in their Kindergarten lockers and are easy for the students to carry independently. Please send in $10 (or a check made to the Sylvan Park PTO) to cover the cost of your child's bag - payments can be made at the Ice Cream Social or sent in during the first week of school. Tote bags will be sent home with Kindergarteners at the Ice Cream Social.

Ice Cream Social & Roster Reveal

Join us on Friday, August 5 from 3-5 p.m. for our roster reveal/meet your teacher/ice cream social! Feel free to bring your school supplies that day so your child does not have to carry them on the first day of school. All attendees will be able to come in the building, see their new classroom, and briefly meet their teacher.

Parent Work Days

Let's support our beloved Sylvan Park teachers by completing some tasks to get their classrooms ready for the beginning of the year! Come to school Saturday, August 6 and/or Sunday, August 7 at 9:00 (or whenever you can after 9:00) ready to roll up your sleeves and get things looking beautiful.
