We are committed to providing a safe and orderly educational environment in which all students can learn, achieve, and grow. Our mission is to educate all students to become enthusiastic, responsible, lifelong learners, and to have a positive impact on the community. Our purpose is to provide the mastery of developmentally appropriate skills, regardless of family background, socioeconomic status, social and emotional behavior, race and gender.

Note to current First Step Parents:
Parents who have children in the First Step Program DO NOT have to register their children for kindergarten; your child's school records are in our system and are transferred to the next zoned school in June. We suggest that you contact your zoned school to make sure everything is in order for your child to start kindergarten.

First Step is a voluntary Title I program which provides developmental school-readiness activities for 4 and 5 year olds. Download First Step Facts.
