On Thursday, April 24, Hoosick Falls Central School will be sponsoring its annual Parent Night for Incoming Kindergartners from 6 to 7:15 pm. The introduction will begin promptly at 6 pm in the Elementary School Cafeteria.
The night gives parents/guardians of incoming kindergartners the opportunity to meet the Superintendent, School Board President, Principal, Kindergarten Teachers, School Nurse, Transportation Supervisor and Cafeteria Supervisor. They will also be able to tour the school, see the kindergarten classrooms and ask any questions pertaining to the District, school and/or classroom.
This night is designed solely for the parents/guardians. We are asking that children do not attend as they will have the opportunity to meet the teachers and see the school during screening in June. This will give all parties the opportunity to ask questions and have discussions with the staff concerning their children in the given time.
