Dear Klondike Lane Elementary Families,
Welcome to a new school year! We are excited to partner with you as we prepare for another year of learning, growth, and success for our students.
We want to share two important dates as we begin the school year:
August 3 - 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
During orientation, families will:
- Pick up important back-to-school packets
- Learn who their child's teacher will be
- Verify transportation information
- Receive important school information and updates
It is imperative that every family stop by the office during orientation. Verifying transportation and reviewing student information helps us ensure a safe and successful start to the school year for all students.
Open House - August 27 at 5:30 p.m. - Open House is a wonderful opportunity for families to:
- Meet their child's teacher
- Learn about classroom expectations and routines
- Gain insight into the curriculum and learning goals
- Ask questions and build connections for a successful school year
- Learn about assignments that meet students where they are instructionally
- Site Based Decision Making (SBDM) interest
We are looking forward to welcoming our students and families back to Klondike Lane Elementary. Together, we can make this school year a positive and rewarding experience for every child.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
We can't wait to see you on August 3!
