Coatesville Kindergarten Kickoff Event April 24

Families with children headed to kindergarten starting in the 2019-20 school year will not want to miss a fun-filled opportunity to learn more about what Coatesville Area School District can offer their child.

Kindergarten Kickoff: Power Up for Kindergarten is scheduled to take place Wednesday, April 24 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Rainbow Elementary School, 1113 W. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, PA 19320. This event is for all families with students headed to kindergarten for the 2019-20 school year who live across the District.

During the event, there will be plenty of fun activities for children ages 4-5, including a bounce castle, games, face painting, photo booths and raffle prizes. In addition families will have an opportunity to learn about life in kindergarten. Elementary school teachers and administrators will host informational sessions for families focused on the District’s elementary school curriculum including: Everyday Math, the Units of Study program, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), a reading readiness assessment and information about elementary school band and orchestra. Kindergarten registration will also be available.

Attendance to the event is free, but those interested in participating are encouraged to register at HTTP://TINYURL.COM/KSPRING2019. This is the third in a series of Kindergarten Kick-off events that have been held throughout the year. The first in the series was the Kindergarten Kickoff Harvest Day Extravaganza in November, which had over 200 people in attendance, followed by the Kindergarten Kickoff Winter Wonderland, which had over 300 people in attendance. Kindergarten registration for the 2019-20 school year is underway.

“The foundation of a child’s education begins in kindergarten,” said Dr. Cathy Taschner, superintendent of schools. “The Coatesville Area School District prides itself on providing a 21st century learning experience for all students. The Kindergarten Kickoff: Power Up for Kindergarten event will allow families to experience what life is like in every classroom across the District every day, while celebrating the superhero in all of us. We hope you will join us.”

“We can’t wait to welcome families to this fun-filled, exciting event,” said Jason Palaia, director of elementary and secondary education. “Rainbow Elementary will be transformed into a real life comic book, filled with superheroes, and you won’t want to miss it.”
