Kindergarten Jumpstart gives Shelton families an August transition window
Kindergarten Jumpstart runs Aug. 25-26, 9:00 to 11:30 a.m., for incoming Shelton kindergartners, with signups due Aug. 20 at the student's home school. No transportation is provided, so families plan drop-off and pickup.
For families entering the district for the first time, Jumpstart is less about enrichment and more about learning the daily school routine before the full year begins.
What families can doConfirm your home school, turn in the signup form by Aug. 20, and plan drop-off and pickup for both mornings.
