🚀THE COUNTDOWN TO KINDERGARTEN IS ON! 🚀
Are you or someone you know the parent/caregiver of a child who will be ready for kindergarten next school year? MCSD will host "Countdown to Kindergarten" orientation sessions for incoming kindergartners at each of our 12 elementary schools on February 22! Families will tour their child's future campus, meet the leadership team, learn how they can help support their child's educational transition AND have the opportunity to enroll in our A-rated, academically high-performing school district!
