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.
