This past week, Bethpage Union Free School District warmly welcomed its newest and youngest learners as they embarked on their educational journey. On Tuesday, August 27th, Charles Champagne School and Kramer Lane School hosted their kindergarten orientations, followed by Central Boulevard School on Thursday, August 29th. Each event was led by the building principal, setting the stage for an exciting start to the school year.
The children eagerly explored their new classrooms, where they met their teachers and classmates. Many jumped right in, enthusiastically engaging with the tools and toys available in their vibrant learning spaces.
Upper-grade ambassadors guided small groups of families on tours of the respective campuses, providing a glimpse into the school environment. The incoming kindergarteners also experienced a brief but exciting school bus ride. At Kramer Lane, students practiced walking through the lunchroom line, learning to confidently state their full name to the cafeteria staff when receiving their lunch.
Despite a few first-day jitters, the children’s excitement was palpable. They are all eagerly anticipating their first official day of elementary school next week.
