We are thrilled to inform you about an amazing opportunity for our incoming kindergarten students. Our Jump Start Program, scheduled to run from July 15 to July 26, aims to help our new students get a head start on what to expect in school.
We understand that some incoming kindergartners may be new to a classroom environment, which can be quite daunting. Others may have experiences causing them to feel anxious or unsafe. Research emphasizes the importance of students feeling safe and valued to fully engage in learning. Therefore, our focus in the Jump Start Program will be on creating a safe and positive environment while fostering strong relationships.
This year, Jump Start will be held at Roachdale Elementary. Teachers from both Bainbridge and Roachdale will be guiding the students daily from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. We will arrange transportation from designated pick-up points and provide breakfast and lunch. If you are interested in having your child participate in this fantastic opportunity, kindly email Dan McMurtry or Brandon Wagler by July 1st.
Dan McMurtry, dmcmurtry@nputnam.k12.in.us (Roachdale Elementary Guidance Counselor)
Brandon Wagler, bwagler@nputnam.k12.in.us (Bainbridge Elementary Principal)
Thank you for considering this enriching experience for your child!
Warm regards,
Dan McMurtry
Roachdale Elementary Guidance Counselor
