In Everett Public Schools, kindergarten starts with Everett Ready!

Everett Ready is a transition program offered in August for all students preparing to enter kindergarten in September.  

It provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with the school campus, the staff, and their kindergarten peers. The program supports positive, consistent experiences for all children and families with time and space to learn school routines and practices.

Everett Ready
