Kindergarten

September 11th-15th

Welcome to Kindergarten at St. Paul School!

We had a wonderful first week of school and enjoyed meeting all our new students in Kindergarten! In the first week of Gradual Entry, the children met their new friends, explored their new classroom, and learned how to play safely on the playground! We look forward to the second week of Gradual Entry together, where the children will get to know their friends even better and are excited for Groups A & B to meet on Thursday!
