March 31, Joseph City Elementary School Kindergarten Round-Up Class of 2036 is an opportunity to take the first steps towards a smoother transition to kindergarten for both child and family, many of whom will be experiencing the classroom setting for the first time. You will also be able to register your child for Kindergarten at this event. This is your chance to get to know JCES, teachers and leaders at our school in a friendly and welcoming experience. We will share valuable information like bus schedules, cafeteria, and Parent/Student Portals. We hope this experience will make kindergarten a more familiar place when classes start in August reducing first-day jitters—for everyone. We look forward to getting to know you and your child as they begin their educational journey.
