Although the rest of our students \n will have their first day of school on Tuesday, September 7, \n Kindergarten students begin the year on Wednesday, September 8th \n with shortened days called Mini-Sessions. The first two Mini-Sessions \n (Wednesday & Thursday) are one hour long. The email that you will \n receive in mid-August will provide you with exact times. Depending on \n COVID protocols, we are hoping that Wednesday Mini-Session will be \n for both parents and children. The other mini-session days will be for \n students only. This is a time for your child to become comfortable with \n the teachers, the Kindergarten rooms, the school, and basic routines. \n The Mini-Sessions will increase in length to half-days. Wednesday, \n September 15 will be the first full day of school for all Kindergarten \n students.","bbox":{"left":0.117652,"top":0.131714,"width":0.750641,"height":0.366194}},{"text":"To learn more about Kindergarten at HGE, parents are welcome to read \n the HGE Spring Kindergarten Welcome Newsletter.
