Here's the first installment and it concerns kindergarten classes. All kindergarten classes will start the year with a staggered beginning. Kindergarteners will come to school every other day for the first eight days of school only, according to information from the elementary office.
Orientation and the first day for kindergarten Group A is Monday, Aug. 18. Orientation and the first day for Group B is Tuesday, Aug. 19.
