Program Description:

The Greene READY4K experience will enable all incoming kindergarten students to participate in a half-day structured program.

At the end of the program, students will have experienced breakfast, Morning Program, the playground, riding a bus, art, sharing, reading, writing, math and much more.

Getting familiar with the Primary building and teaching staff will help all students feel at ease at the beginning of school in September.

playground, snack, pack up and dismissal. These introductory kindergarten activities will prepare our students for the upcoming school year.

Greene Primary School teachers will be leading the GREENE READY4K program. In addition to kindergarten teachers, other certified teachers will provide instruction during this program.
