🌟 Is Junior Kindergarten the Right Fit for Your Child? 🌟

Not every child is ready for the demands of full-day kindergarten—and that’s okay! Our Junior Kindergarten program provides an extra year to build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and support the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally.

✔️ Focus on early literacy skills
✔️ Support for children who tire easily or feel overwhelmed by long days
✔️ A strong, confident start before kindergarten

📄 Take a look at the flyer below for more details.

National School Counseling Week 2026 (Feb. 2-6), sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

Whether she’s reading with our littlest Sailors or helping seniors navigate college applications and next steps, Mrs. Brunz supports every Sailor!

She is a steady presence, a trusted advocate, and such an incredible asset to our district and community. We are so grateful for the impact she makes every single day.
