 In an effort to make the transition to Kindergarten a fun and successful experience, the Larson Kindergarten Team will be “rolling in” students in August.

Individual appointments will be held in mid-August (teachers will be contacting parents in August to set-up appointments). During the individual meeting students will get to do a scavenger hunt and explore the school and the playground. Parents are welcome to stay during the individual appointment. Kindergarten teachers will be contacting parents with their child’s roll-in date/time.

There will also be a small group orientation.  The small group orientation will be run as a “mini day” so students will become familiar with routines and class expectations.  Parents please plan to drop off and pick up your student during the small group session. 

Kindergarten teachers will be contacting parents with their child’s orientation date/time. 

FULL DAY Kindergarten begins on

Thursday, August 20, 2020.

Math Club Students Excel!

Larson’s Math Club students were among the nearly 160,00 students from more than 30 countries to participate this year in the Math Olympiad Program.  They participated in a series of five monthly contests of 5 problems each from November to March, and weekly practice sessions under the supervision and coaching of Miss Lamont.  She taught the mathletes to solve unusual and difficult problems and to think creatively.  John Bennis was Larson’s Math Club’s member who had the highest score and received a trophy.  Also, he scored in the top 40% of all of the international students who took the tests.  Congratulations to all of the students! 

The Math Club members included: 

TJ O'Malley, Tyler Stephens-Dombroski, Janeva Bennis, Brody Cochrane, Karli Lane, Vanessa Pushruk, Anabella Gerry, Attia Conway, Alayna Naylor, Kaleb Walker, Anabelle Chavez, Carl VanBlarcom, Julia Steele, John Bennis, Xzander Macy, Logan Roberts, Nathan Gourley, Kailyn Overpeck, Isabella Swanson, Justice Voorhis, Jayden White, Keith Hales, Callan Knutson, Alexandria Sample, Cooper Williams
