Incoming Kindergarten Families

Preschool/Kindergarten Family Information Night (with Winnetka Administration and Sue Stolzer, Early Childhood Assessment Team Lead from TrueNorth) - January 15, 2025 @ 6:00 p.m. at Greeley School 

This information session is intended for Winnetka parents of preschool students who will be attending The Winnetka Public Schools. Parents will learn more about the support and services that the District provides to current preschool students attending local preschool programming as well as what is available within our schools once a student enters kindergarten. Families will receive a preview of:
  • The transition-to-Kindergarten process by Crow Island, Greeley and Hubbard Woods Principals,
  • The resources available to families of current preschool students from the Department of Student Services, Equity and Inclusion
  • Details on “Kindergarten Connection” which will take place in Summer 2024

We look forward to meeting new families at this event!
