Kindergarten Staggered Start
**Attention Kindergarten Parents**
To support the transition to Kindergarten, we will have a staggered start for students. With the staggered start, your child’s first day of Kindergarten will either be August 20th, 21st or 22nd. Your child will only report on one of those days that week.
All students will report on Monday, August 25th. Each student received their staggered start date with their class placement information earlier this summer. If you do not have this information, please call the office at Western Elementary at 419-884-2765.
