👏 We’re proud to celebrate your hard work, great choices, and commitment to excellence. Way to go! 🌟📚

🎒 On Wednesday, May 7, West Haven Public Schools proudly welcomed the Class of 2038 at Kindergarten Orientation! 🌟
Held at each elementary school, incoming kindergartners and their families had the opportunity to meet the school principal, kindergarten teachers, and paraprofessionals. It was a special day of connection and excitement as both students and parents got a first look at the school experience ahead.
While students participated in a fun, interactive reading session, parents received an informative presentation covering daily schedules, transportation, safety protocols, communication options, attendance, and school policies. To wrap up the day, students rejoined their families for a guided tour of their respective schools.
📚 Welcome to the WHPS family, future kindergartners! We’re so excited for what’s to come! 🎈
