Welcome to Kindergarten
Welcome to Madrona, new Eagle! We can't wait for you to embark on your learning journey with us.
Get Ready for Kindergarten!
Join us for Jump Start
Jump Start is Wednesday, August 21 to Friday, August 23, 2024.
8:45 - 11:45 a.m.
Jump Start helps incoming kindergarten students and their parents be ready to start school. This program is free and open to all incoming students who are registered for kindergarten at a Highline elementary school.
Jump Start helps children familiarize themselves with their new school, kindergarten teacher, classmates, and daily schedule before school starts in September.
During Jump Start, each school hosts a family meeting to learn about the school, meet teachers, and find out how to support your child’s learning.
