KITS Graduation

We want to congratulate our kindergarten students from our KITS program who will be graduating from KITS on Wednesday, October 26th at 3:00.  Families are welcome to join us for the graduation ceremony and reception.

Fern Ridge’s first KITS program was a huge success. Our KITS (Kids in Transition To School) students attended KITS all for 16 sessions in the Summer and 8 sessions in the Fall. In the KITS program they learned early literacy skills and number skills. They also learned classroom routines like sharing, taking turns, listening, and more. Plus they made friends and had lots of fun making art projects, singing songs, and playing games. Their parents had the chance to network with other parents and share tips and strategies for helping their children make the transition to school.

Kindergarten teachers at both schools noted that students who were in KITS had a smooth transition to school. They were confident and successful from the start thanks to their time in KITS and the hard work of their KITS  teachers- Delise, Angi, and Kristi. Thanks also to Amber who facilitated our parent group meetings and Callie who provided child care.

If you  or someone you know will have a student entering Kindergarten in the 20017-18 school year, please consider signing them up for KITS next summer. If you call the school now, we can put you on a list to receive a KITS registration form in the Spring. There is no cost for KITS and transportation is provided.
