In kindergarten, we learn about ourselves, our families, our school and our community. In the process, we develop new skills in math, reading, writing, science, art and more.

To get our youngest students off to a warm and positive start, our kindergarten teachers make home visits in late August. Then half the class starts on the official first day of school and the other half starts the following day.

If you are an incoming neighborhood kindergarten family, and not yet registered, please contact the office ASAP. Learn more on our Kindergarten Welcome page. If you would like to register for Edison, please call the school at 687-3284 as soon as possible.

We'd like to welcome Courtney Poindexter, as she steps in for Jen Berglund, who is on maternity leave.

Artful and High Tech!

Check out new artwork from Polly's class. We used our drawing program Scribbles and our SmartBoard to make pictures together - for fun, and to show what we know about ponds before we begin our special unit on ponds.
