Get ready for school

Get Ready for School is a free program designed to help incoming kindergarteners get comfortable with classroom routines, practice important early learning skills and explore their classroom before the first day of school. The program, which is designed to reach at-risk students without high-quality preschool experience or key skills for school readiness, typically runs two weeks before the school year begins. Children attend Get Ready for School at their school for a few hours at a time, three days each week.
