“We’re just really, really excited to welcome this new class and looking forward to some really great events at the school. It’s always a well-attended event and it’s just nice to meet the incoming families and the kiddos,” Hart said.
This event is for all incoming kindergarteners, including students currently enrolled in Early Childhood and Head Start. Hart said students will take a Pre-K assessment while parents complete the enrollment process, and both can participate in other activities at the event.
“That way, families and the students can meet teachers, tour the school, [and] have a snack,” she said. “We’re going to have a photo with our Redbird and they can take a bus ride provided by Illinois Central.”
