Kindergarten Team

  •  

    As a Kindergarten team, we are so excited that your child is beginning their amazing journey here at Penny Road Elementary with us. During this year, our children will not only learn to read, write, and experience math in many fun ways, but they will also learn how to get along with others! We believe that as a Kindergarten team, we are establishing classroom and social habits that will foster a lifelong love of learning!

    We are so excited to begin this journey with you and encourage you to be active participants at home and at school with your child’s education.
