Welcome to Kindergarten!
Starting Kindergarten is an exciting milestone—not just for your child, but for your whole family! We know this is a big step, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Your child’s first experiences with school can shape their attitude toward learning for years to come. A smooth transition helps set the stage for success, confidence, and a love of learning.
Kindergarten Orientation will be scheduled for the days prior to the first day of school. We invite students and parents to join us to get important information about the school schedule, drop-off and pick-up procedures, homework practice, and what to bring to school each day. You will also have the opportunity to meet your classroom teacher, see your classroom and even check out where your child's desk will be. Look for an email invite with the date and time of your orientation in early August.
To help you and your child feel prepared and excited for this new adventure, we’ve put together some helpful resources. We encourage you to explore the information below as you get ready for the first day of school. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!
We can’t wait to welcome you and your child to our school community!
If you are interested in registering your child, please visit the district’s registration page at santeesd.net/enroll.
