Kindergarten Family Introductions

Kindergarten Crew Leaders are so excited to meet incoming kindergarten students this fall! The first days of school can be both thrilling and a little scary. Crew Leaders, Breeze, Nadia, and Jaden have a plan to help make those first days a little easier!

 

All incoming kindergarten families will be having some one-on-one, introduction time to get to know you and your child.  After, the Crew Leaders will develop class lists and send them out to be ready for the first day of kindergarten. 

 

Please note the following dates as they are different from the main school calendar:

  • Wednesday, August 23rd is the first official day of school for 1-8 grade students at Anser.
  • Wednesday, August 23rd through Friday, August 25th are kindergarten introduction meetings. Class lists will be emailed to families by 3:30 pm on the 25th.
  •  Monday, August 28 is the first day of school for kindergarten students!

Please sign-up for the time slot that works best for your family. Looking forward to meeting you and the youngest members of our Crew!

 

If you have any questions, please contact the front office at 208-426-9840 and leave a voicemail. The front office staff will return to the office August 14th. Or please send an email to one of the Kindergarten Crew Leaders.

ANSER After School Programming Planning Survey -Thank you to those that donated during our Spring Auction last school year, you made this programming possible!  We are happy to announce that in addition to our Gansito's Spanish Club we will have some other offerings for Anser students. We are currently gathering options and setting a schedule.
 
Please note, these are not meant to be child care. Rather an opportunity for more extracurricular activities that families don't have to drive all over town to participate in! 
 
If you are interested in hosting Please fill out this survey by September 1st, at the very latest, to be considered for the session starting in October. 
 
Reach out to Jess McGinnis or Amanda Neill with any questions!
