First day of school; 2022-23 calendar
Preschool
- 5-day Preschool classes will begin on Monday, September 12.
Kindergarten
A successful start is important for our kindergarten students. To support them and their families, kindergartners have a different start to the school year than our older students. This provides an opportunity for teachers to begin learning about our students and offer a more personalized start to the year. Here are the details:
- On Tuesday, Sept. 6 and Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022, kindergarten students do not attend school. Instead, students and their parents/guardians will meet briefly, one-on-one, with their kindergarten teachers. Schools will work with families to schedule these appointments prior to Sept. 6.
- On Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, kindergartners with last names beginning with letters A-K will have their first day of school. Friday, Sept. 9, 2022, kindergartners with last names beginning with letters L-Z will have their first day of school.
- Beginning Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, all kindergarten students will attend school.
Grades 1-12
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022, is the first day of the 2022-23 school year for all students in grades 1-12.
