🎉 Welcome to Kindergarten at Lewisville Elementary! 🎉
We’re so excited to kick off the school year next week with our newest little learners! 🌟
The first week of school will be all about getting our toes wet and getting to know one another in a fun, relaxed setting. To help ease the transition, your child will attend only two days in a smaller group:
👫 Group A: Monday 8/4/25 & Tuesday 8/5/25
👬 Group B: Wednesday 8/6/25 & Thursday 8/7/25
🎒 Then on Friday, 8/8/25, all kindergartners will come together for a full day of fun!
We can’t wait to meet our new students and start this amazing journey together! 💙📚
