The annual “Kindergarten 101” parent meeting will take place on Thursday, May 9, starting at 6:30 p.m. at Central on Main, 210 N. Main Street and will last roughly an hour.
“Kindergarten lays the groundwork for a child's lifelong learning journey by nurturing their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development in a supportive environment,” said Director of Early Childhood Teresa Bowker. “During this parent meeting, we will discuss information about curriculum, daily schedules, transportation processes, and all of the nuts and bolts of kindergarten. We encourage all parents with an incoming kindergartener to attend.”
Broken Arrow is proud to have 16 elementary schools that give students a place to embark upon new adventures in a classroom environment. All children who turn five years old by or on Sept. 1, 2024, are eligible for enrollment as a 2024-25 kindergarten student. Online kindergarten enrollment opens Monday, May 13, for new students. Please note enrollment will not take place at this meeting.
