Stratford Public Schools Welcomes Incoming Kindergarten Families
This past weekend, Stratford Public Schools had the pleasure of welcoming our incoming kindergarten students and their families to the Read, Sing, & Get Ready for Kindergarten! event at the Stratford Library.
Families explored the Children's Room, connected with school and community partners, and received backpacks filled with resources to help prepare for the start of school. A special thank you goes to Michele Urban Music for providing an engaging music and literacy experience that had our future kindergarteners singing, moving, and learning together.
We are also grateful to our partners at the Stratford Library for helping us create a warm and welcoming introduction to Stratford Public Schools. Building these connections early helps our youngest learners and their families begin their school journey with excitement and confidence.
We cannot wait to officially welcome the Class of 2039 this fall!
