Pre-K Family Days (2023-24 School Year)

Typically held every other month, Pre-K Family
Days help to foster meaningful early childhood memories and encourage families to become involved in their children’s school activities.

Family Days provide opportunities for parents/caregivers and other family members to come to school and participate in a project or activity planned by our pre-K staff. Family Days are a wonderful opportunity for parents/caregivers to spend meaningful time with their children and for parents/caregivers and teachers to work together.
