Attention incoming Kindergarten families. There’s still time to sign up for our Me and My School Kindergarten Transition Program! Due to maintenance and construction work being completed at Stephens Elementary this summer, the program will be held at Erpenbeck Elementary. The program runs June 9-26, Monday–Thursday, from 8:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. This free program is designed to help incoming kindergarten students become comfortable with school routines, learn important kindergarten readiness skills, make new friends, and build confidence before the start of the school year. We will also have a Meet and Greet on June 9th at Erpenbeck Elementary, where families can learn more about the program, tour the building, and review the daily schedule. If you are unable to attend the Meet and Greet, that’s okay! There are still a few openings available. To register, please complete the application and return it to mailto:Chereste.Rounds@boone.kyschools.us or mailto:Helen.Potraffke@boone.kyschools.us. If you have any questions, please call 859-334-4460 Monday–Thursday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We look forward to helping your child get ready for kindergarten!

Please take a moment and take out Title 1 Family Survey for 26-27.
