KPES Welcome Walk: August 13th 1-4pm
(sign up by Aug. 9th)
Kings Park staff is offering a Welcome Walk for all families again this year. The Welcome Walk is an informal time for you to meet your child's teacher for the 2024-2025 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 Tuesday, August 13th from 1pm-4pm. To participate you will need to be home during this time frame. If you are not going to be home at this date/time frame OR would prefer to meet the teacher virtually, please indicate that on the linked survey and your child's teacher will contact you to schedule a virtual meet and greet.
Please complete this survey to indicate your preference by August 9, 2024 at 1pm. 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.
PLEASE NOTE: In case of any weather warnings, the welcome walk visits will shift to virtual for the safety of staff and families.
Open House, Aug.15th 1:00pm-2:00pm
Open House is a time for students and families to informally meet their teacher and to explore the classroom. Staff members will be on hand to give extra assistance during the open house to help you find your child’s classroom. We hope to see you there! We encourage families to enter the buidling and practice walking to class the same way their student will each day. Please see the below map for cordinated entrances.
