Newport Primary school has Move-Up day each year. On this day, students visit the classroom of their next year’s teacher for a few hours. Incoming Kindergarten students are welcomed to come this day too! Your child will meet and spend time with their kindergarten teachers. This is a great opportunity for your child to become more comfortable with school and get a sneak peek at what Kindergarten is all about.
On this day, we ask you to drop off on Putnam Street just like you did for preschool. Our preschool teachers will be there to greet and keep the preschoolers until it is time to meet their Kindergarten teacher. Breakfast will be provided.
Pick up your future Kindergartener at 11:00 am on Putnam Street.
