On April 8, all five elementary schools in the Penn-Trafford School District hosted a “Kindergarten Kickoff” event for students who will enter kindergarten in the 2026-2027 school year. The event welcomed the new students and their families, and enabled them to become familiar with their future school.
During the event, families toured the buildings, met teachers and staff members, and learned about available school services and resources. The evening also included photo booths, craft stations, and opportunities to sign up for a library card. The Kindergarten Kickoff aimed to ease the transition into school by helping students and families feel more comfortable and informed before the start of the academic year.
