• Hello Kindergarten Families,
    Welcome to kindergarten at Bridger Creative Science School!  We are your kindergarten team - Christi Braun, Lauren Wahl-Stephens, and Karen Hadley - and we are so excited about the year ahead! We have two kindergarten classes, led by Lauren or Christi, with Karen supporting both groups.  Look for an email in late August letting you know who your child’s teacher will be.
    Kindergarten is such a magical time of growth and exploration.  We strive to create classrooms that are play based, constructivist learning spaces, grounded in strong relationships.  Kids are active learners, empowered to ask questions and solve problems together.  We will support their growth as independent thinkers and caring community members.  We look forward to partnering with you on this journey. 
    To help us get off to a smooth start, our year will begin with a Popsicle Playdate, individual visits for each child and family and a first day of school with a smaller group of classmates. 

    Kindergarten Popsicle Playdate:  August 26th, at the BCSS Playground.  Time TBD

    Kindergarten Ramp Up:  Aug 27th-30th

    Individual visits (child/family and teacher)- August 27th and 28th- Schedule for sign up coming in late August

    Half class start- Either August 29th or 30th - Everyone will have the chance to attend a full school day with a smaller group of classmates:

    • Students with last names from A-M will attend full day on August 29th (Not attending on August 30th)
    • * Students with last names from N-Z will attend full day on August 30th (Not attending on August 29th)
    •  
    • Beginning Tuesday, September 3rd, everyone attends together.
      In late August, we will have more information to share about your child’s class placement and signing up for individual visits.  (In case you start thinking about school supplies- all your child will need is a backpack, water bottle and lunchbox.)
      In the meantime, you're invited to summer park playdates hosted by the BCSS PTA! (Schedule below) This is a great way to connect with kids and families in our school community.  
      We are looking forward to starting our kindergarten adventure together!
      Warmly,    Christi, Lauren and Karen
