Queen Creek schools prepare for new kindergarten students
QCUSD
The Queen Creek Unified School District is helping parents prepare for their children's kindergarten experience.
Posted
Queen Creek Unified School District parents and students are already preparing for the 2023-2023 school year.
And that includes setting the stage for the next wave of kindergarteners -- many of whom will be experiencing a classroom setting for the first time.
Kindergarten Round-Up presents an opportunity for students to see what kindergarten is like before the new school year starts.
“It’s a sample to find out who we are,” stated Corey Rislund, a kindergarten teacher at Frances-Brandon Pickett Elementary, in a press release..
During Kindergarten Round-Up, incoming little ones and their parents have a chance to tour the district’s elementary schools, explore classrooms and see how the kindergarten teachers interact in a classroom setting. Parents also attend a special presentation to learn more about transportation, curriculum and procedures, child nutrition and the health office.
This year, Kindergarten Round-Up will be held from 4-6 p.m., Thursday, Feb, 9 and 5-6 p.m., Thursday, April 20.
Parents interested in attending Kindergarten Round-Up for your neighborhood school, visit our boundaries map and type in your address to find out its location.
