This year’s new “soft start” initiative for Lake Pend Oreille School District kindergarteners proved beneficial for both families and educators.
For kindergarteners, the first full day of school was delayed by two days, providing teachers with two open days to assess kids and walk them through routines and expectations before officially starting.
They were on campus for screenings, meeting staff and touring classrooms. Teachers answered questions, addressed concerns and helped students who were having trouble transitioning.
