Kindergarten Orientation

Tomorrow: April 1st 1:00-2:30

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, between January and April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us prepare and ensure we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. 

Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.

Halley will host our kindergarten orientation on April 1st from 1:00-2:30.  Please join us to meet our lovely kindergarten team and Halley staff.  You can even take a tour of the school!!

✨ A strong start is Goal 1 of the 2023-30 Strategic Plan
