Welcome to Kindergarten!

The 2021-2022 Kindergarten class will be broken down into three colored pods. Your children will attend Kindergarten for two full days per week, either Tuesday/Thursday, Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday in addition to the occasional extra Friday. Mrs. Henry will share a schedule of the extra Friday’s your child will be expected to attend.  Kindergarten class placements are based on a number of factors including, the number of kindergarten registrations, date kindergarten registration received, program day availability and student needs, not just on parent preference. Every effort has been made to accommodate work schedules and/or child care needs where possible. Please refer to the welcome package below for full details.

Please fill out the Child Information Form and return it with your child on their first day. 

What to Expect the First Week - Staggered Entry

In 2020, Bentley School moved to a staggered entry start the first week of school. Class size is minimized and class time is shortened to allow children a chance to get to know their new space and adjust to their new environment. NO BUSING IS PROVIDED THIS WEEK FOR KINDERGARTEN. 

When does full day Kindergarten start?

The first full day of Kindergarten including busing starts Tuesday, September 7. You must have registered for busing through your PowerSchool Online Payments portal on the homepage of our website!
