Kindergarten Jump Start

Jump Start will be August 15-19th at Roxhill from 9 am – 12 pm. 

Jump Start is a free transition-to-kindergarten program offered at most Seattle elementary and K-8 schools in late August. Jump Start is a time to build relationships and create an inclusive, welcoming school community. During Jump Start, teachers provide a variety of fun activities that all students can feel successful doing as they learn about their classroom and school. Teachers observe students working independently and in small and whole class groupings.

Here is a link to the resources page with registration forms:https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/early-learning/resources/

Please complete the registration form and send it to Jacquelyn Ksidakis  jbksidakis@seattleschools.org or Christa Howsmon cjhowsmon@seattleschools.org.

A few reminders: Jump Start is a free program for families and is designed to be a little intro to the Kindergarten year at Roxhill. While we will make time for families and teachers to connect before and after the Jump Start days, Jump Start is just for kindergarteners. Families will practice dropping their student off and picking them up just like the normal school year (: Free breakfast and snack/lunch will be provided. Busses are not available however pre-loaded ORCA transit cards will be available to assist families with transportation barriers.
