Kindergarten Round Up Information
Kindergarten Round-Up Information
We are excited to announce our Kindergarten Round-Up dates. The dates are April 14th and 21st. We anticipate requesting the families with last names that start with A-M come on April 14th. Then, the other half, N-Z, come on April 21st. This may change slightly due to the number of students within each group. Please keep in mind this is a two-day event, however, there is only one day you will have to attend. We will get additional information out soon to each family explaining the details. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Friendly reminder, all eligible students must be 5 years of age by July 31, 2023, per the state of Nebraska, to attend kindergarten for the 2023-24 school year. If you have any questions please contact the office at 402-468-5714. Thank you! Go PIONEERS!
