🎒 Kindergarten starts September 2!

Kindergarten scholars start school on the same day as grades 1-12: Wednesday, September 2.

During the first six days, September 2-10, kindergarten will follow a half-day schedule, with scholars released 3.5 hours early. Their first full day of kindergarten is Friday, September 11.

These first days give scholars time to get comfortable in their new school, learn routines and expectations, and build relationships with their teachers and classmates. During the afternoons, each family will have one scheduled WaKIDS Family Connection Meeting with their child's teacher to learn more about their child's transition to school and share information with the teacher.

🌞 **Field Day 2026 at Adelaide Elementary School: A Day to Remember!** 🌞

We had an incredible time at Adelaide Elementary School for Field Day 2026! The sun was shining, and the energy was high as our students enjoyed a variety of fun-filled stations.

We kicked off the day with a special visit from the fire truck, spraying everyone with refreshing water! The excitement continued with stations featuring popcorn, water balloon tossing, climbing challenges, an obstacle course, sack races, face painting, bubbles, and delicious popsicles!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who joined us to make this day so special, especially Miss Bell and Mrs. Dickey. Your hard work and dedication truly made Field Day a fantastic experience for our kids!

Here’s to more fun-filled days ahead! 🎉🍧
