3 KINDERGARTEN OPEN HOUSES During the next two months, RCES will hold monthly Kindergarten Open Houses for parents who will be sending (or are considering sending) their children to Kindergarten at RCES next fall. Below are dates for each month, in addition to our Kindergarten Orientation dates in May. Mr. Chep will meet with prospective kindergarten parents to discuss our programs and answer questions, and parents will have an opportunity to visit our kindergarten classes. Please inform your neighbors whose children will attend kindergarten during the school year (turning five years old by September 1, 2017). It is essential we know early how many children will attend kindergarten to ensure appropriate staffing, and to keep our class sizes down. These meetings are not for children. Parents and children will attend our May Kindergarten Orientation. SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR NEIGHBORS!!!
