2024-25 Kindergarten Staggered Entry and Open House

Welcome to our newest Baldwin Bears! We are pleased to have your child in our educational care this year. We hope you and your child enjoyed the summer and that you are ready to embark on an important milestone in your child's life. Kindergarten is a year of growing socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Your involvement, interest, and enthusiasm will help make this a wonderful year of growth for you and your child. 

All Kindergarten students will participate in staggered entry. This year’s staggered entry will be a four day procedure where each student will come to school on the day designated by last name only. The information below shows your child’s assigned day for their first day of Kindergarten.

• Monday, August 26, 2024: Students with last name A-F
• Tuesday, August 27, 2024: Students with last name G-L
• Wednesday, August 28, 2024: Students with last name M-S
• Thursday, August 29, 2024: Students with last name T-Z

Please note that Kindergarten students will only attend one day of school on opening week. These days will be a full day for your child. Our doors open at 7:00am for students to unpack and receive their breakfast, and initial entry assessments/instruction/observations will begin promptly at 7:30am. Our dismissal time is 2:10pm. Please make sure to let your child’s teacher know how they will get home during the opening week of school, as safety is our top priority.

Parents/families will be notified of teacher assignments via phone call and/or email prior to Open House. Our Kindergarten Open House is scheduled for Friday, August 30, 2024 from 8:00-10:00 a.m. You will be introduced to your child’s teacher and assistant at this time. We will be available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have as well. The expectation of this visit is for families to have an opportunity to meet their child’s teacher and receive any pertinent information regarding the upcoming school year. On Friday, August 30, 2024 Kindergarten students will not come to school. We welcome you to attend this very important and informative event.

Please call the school office for more information at 910-424-0145. We welcome you to Ed V. Baldwin Elementary and we will see you very soon!
