Countdown to Kindergarten at Farmington Woods IB/PYP Magnet Elementary!July 7, 2025Hi Farmington Woods Kindergarten Families!
Video Message from Mrs. Pierce, principal
We are busy getting things ready for the start of the 2025-26 school year and are excited to have your student and family joining us at FWES.
Each week until kindergarten begins, we will send you information that will assist you and your student in preparing for the transition to kindergarten. It will include information for parent review and activities to do with your child, too.
As we get closer to the start of the year, the weekly email will also contain some kindergarten specific school information…. And you’ll begin getting our whole school information sharing, too!
Your family should receive a mailing especially for kindergarten families with information about Staggered Entry dates, school supplies and other important starting school information, in the next week or two.
If you do not receive the mailing- please reach out to Mrs. Marcia Tracy-Dale (mtracy-dale@wcpss.net) to make sure we have your accurate home address on file.
