Calling all Kindergarten parents- Henrico County Public Schools is introducing a new staggered First Day schedule designed to make the transition to elementary school even smoother for our incoming KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS. *This is a change to what was previousy posted. Last names A-L will now be attending Day 1!
This staggered start allows our youngest learners time to become familiar with the building, routines and expectations before all students attend together. Additional information and helpful resources to support your First Day preparation: https://www.henricoschools.us/page/back-to-school
