Welcome Walk 

Kings Park staff will be offering a Welcome Walk for all families this year. The Welcome Walk is an informal time for you to meet your child's teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. Your child's teacher and a KPES staff buddy will come to your home for a brief 3-5 minute doorstep visit. This year's welcome walk will be held on Monday, August 16th between 4pm-7pm. To participate you will need to be home during this time frame and wear a mask. If you are not going to be home at this date/time frame OR would prefer to meet the teacher virtually, please indicate that in the survey. Each teacher will contact families that elect to schedule a virtual meeting and/or do not complete the survey by the deadline, to schedule a virtual meet and greet. One way or another, we look forward to "seeing" you soon!

By August 10, 2021 at 1pm, please complete the following survey to indicate your preference To support the management and preplanning necessary for this event, please note that if no survey is submitted for a student, the virtual option will be assumed and scheduled.
