Kindergarten Orientation Dear Kindergarten Families,
Welcome to the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year!
We are looking forward to meeting your child, and we want to provide you with some information regarding the Kindergarten Orientation. Orientation will take place on either Tuesday, September 8 from 2:00-6:00 p.m. or Thursday, September 10 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Each child and their parents/guardians will be invited to attend a Kindergarten Orientation with your child's kindergarten teacher. Students in the hybrid model will be invited to come to North Woods for their orientation appointment in their classroom, while students in the Wayzata Distance Choice model will have a virtual orientation appointment.
Your child's kindergarten teacher will be announced via Skyward Family Access on Tuesday, September 1 at 4:00 p.m. Following this announcement, you will receive an email from your child's kindergarten teacher with a link to sign up for your child's orientation appointment. Families will be asked to sign up for a 20-minute appointment.
Hybrid Students The Kindergarten Orientation appointments will provide an opportunity for your child to meet their teacher and see their learning space. Students should bring their school supplies to their orientation appointment, iPads will be distributed for home learning, and information will be shared about the school year. We will also answer any questions you may have about this exciting year in kindergarten! Since this is a kindergarten-specific event, siblings and other family members will unfortunately not be able to attend.
To comply with social distancing expectations, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Distance Choice Students The virtual Kindergarten Orientation appointments will provide an opportunity for your child to meet their teacher and learn more information about the school year.
