All kindergartners will have an opportunity to tour the building and visit their Art, Music, Gym, Library, School Office, Counselor’s Office and other important locations. Kindergarten students will ride a school bus with Mr. Thomas and Dr. Mach. Students will receive important safety information about riding the bus to and from school and during field trips.
