Family Connections Meeting
The Family Connections Meeting is a great opportunity for you and your student to meet one on one with your student’s teacher.

The connection meeting dates are September 6th, 7th & 8th. Most meeting slots will be during school hours, in person, with an opportunity for Zoom meetings if necessary.
Please bring your kindergartener with you to this meeting! This is a one on one to get know your kindergartener and family; topic will include family norms (rules, expectations and responsibilities), family joys, passions and activities, hopes and goals for the year, student strengths, worries and student areas for growth, logistics (daily schedule, lunch, ways of coming to school and going home, etc.).
Rolling Start
Kindergarteners in the Northshore School District begin school with a rolling start.
-
Students with last name’s A-M come to school Monday, September 11th from 9:10 am - 3:40 pm
-
Students with last name’s N-Z come to school Tuesday, September 12th from 9:10 am - 3:40 pm
-
All kindergarteners will come to school on Wednesday, September 13th 9:10 am - 2:10 pm (early release)
After rolling start dates, school will resume as usual:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 9:10am - 3:40pm
- Early Release Wednesday: 9:10am - 2:10pm
Rolling start allows students to experience a day of kindergarten in a small group setting. Teachers will run through all of the daily routines from signing into the classroom, navigating the lunch line, recess, specialists, to getting home at the end of the day. We hope by providing a less overwhelming environment for your student’s first day, this will create a smooth transition and successful start to your kindergartner’s school year.
Curriculum Night
Stay tuned for information regarding Curriculum Night. This is a time where classroom teachers will share information regarding what your child will be learning this year, classroom routines, ways you can support your child at home, and address any questions you may have.

Early Release Wednesday: 9:10am - 2:10pm
First Days of School
Arrival Location: The arrival location for ALL Kindergartners will be the undercover area of the playground. If your child is riding the bus or being dropped off in the car line, they will be directed to that area. If you are walking your child to campus, please help them get to this location. All Kindergarten students will be monitored by Frank Love staff. Students should look for their teacher/classroom sign, lining up in single file order. Classroom teachers will greet students in the designated arrival location and walk students to class.
Dismissal Location: Should you be picking up your student, please plan to meet your classroom teacher on the right side of the covered area at the end of their school day. Classroom teachers will walk students to and from their arrival and dismissal locations. We ask families to wait in the designated areas to ease congestion on our bustling sidewalks.
-
Hours and Arrival – School starts promptly at 9:10 AM, with the first bell at 9:10 AM. Due to lack of supervision, students may not arrive before 9:00 AM. Students will walk to class at 9:00 AM. Students arriving after 9:10 AM will need to check-in at the Main Office as tardy (late).
-
Dismissal - Please ensure your student knows how they will be going home the first days of school; bus, car-loop, parent walk up, etc. Please also communicate these plans to your child’s classroom teacher.
School Lunch
Your child may bring lunch from home, or buy breakfast and lunch at school. You can find more information about adding money to your child’s lunch account as well as the menu for each month on the District Website.
Create a LINQ account for your student to order lunch or breakfast at school. LINQ can help you:
- Monitor your children’s meal accounts

Nurse's Office

Immunization Requirements for School Attendance: It is imperative complete immunization records have been submitted to Frank Love’s Main Office prior to the first day of school, otherwise, it will mean a delay in your student’s start date.
-
Medications at School: If your student will be taking ANY medication at school, you must speak with the school nurse. Please do not put any kind of medicine, including aspirin, vitamins, and cough drops in your student's lunch box, backpack or pockets. Unidentified medicine can never be given at school.
Students with Life Threatening Conditions: If your student has a life-threatening health condition requiring medical services at school, or if you have questions about a medical condition, please contact the school nurse right away. Students with a life-threatening condition qualify for a 504 Accommodation/Emergency Care Plan. Please set up a meeting with the school nurse prior to their first day of school in order to have all necessary forms and medications in place.

Volunteers
We love to have volunteers work in classrooms or on projects at home! Please look for sign-up forms for volunteering during Meet and Greet and Curriculum Night events. Volunteers must go through a background check with the District. You can start that process on the District Website.

Each year we accumulate so several boxes of lost and found items, most of all jackets. To avoid your student losing their personal items please:
- Label your student's personal belongings
- Clothing
- backpacks
- water bottles
- Check the lost and found regularly for missing items
