We are looking forward to our newest students’ arrival and want to create as smooth a transition as possible. Dearborn Schools has developed and implemented 2 programs with this in mind.

Soft Start Childcare Program Flier
Jump Start: This program will take place August 23, 24 and 25 from 9:00 to 12:00. During this time children will have an opportunity to meet teachers and staff, explore their classroom, and visit other areas of the school including the gym, art room and cafeteria. The focus will be on introducing them to school routines and helping them feel more comfortable so that the first few weeks of kindergarten are positive and successful.
If you did not receive a letter for this program but feel your child would benefit, please email me at jakubuv@dearbornschools.org.
Enjoy the rest of the break!
