Transition Activities

We know this is an exciting time for your entire family! Your child’s kindergarten classroom will be a creative and stimulating environment full of learning and exploration. Kindergarten will provide the foundation for the rest of your child’s school experiences and your child will develop a love of learning.

Recognizing the importance of the school’s partnership with all families, we encourage you to help your child prepare for the kindergarten experience at home.

Age is generally the only criterion for children entering kindergarten. Students must be five years old on or before August 31. Although there is no other requirement for entering kindergarten, here are some common expectations for new students, according to the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. During the Kindergarten school year, your child's teacher will get to know your child and plan their instruction accordingly.
