Important Events for Incoming Kindergarten Families: Kindergarten Round-Up and Kickoff to K

RocketKids Article

A child’s first year of school is an extremely important one. During kindergarten, children begin to learn to read & write, cooperate with each other, and creatively solve problems, among other formative skills. These skills will help children build a strong foundation for future academic success. However, learning all day in a classroom can be a big adjustment for young children, particularly those who did not attend a Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program. Sarasota County Schools wants to make sure that our incoming kindergarten families feel prepared for the school year ahead. Incoming kindergarten families for the 2027-2028 school year are encouraged to attend our schools’ Kindergarten Round-Up and Kickoff to K events!
