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 will be held from Monday, August 21 to Thursday, August 24, 2023 for 3 hours in the morning. Students attend Everett Ready at their home school.
