Kindergarten is so much more than playtime.

Join Whitman Elementary School teachers Kym Sammons, Jodi Schock, Alexandria Melvin, and Jennifer Carnahan for Late Start Monday Collaboration as they analyze data, discuss student progress, share strategies and create a plan for targeted instruction to help kindergarten students as they learn to write.

Our Late Start Monday schedule allows teachers to collaborate regularly so they can work together to ensure that all students in their grade – not just in their classroom – are getting the support they need. Setting a strong foundation in kindergarten is critical for future success, and consistent assessment and collaboration helps teachers to meet diverse student needs from day one.
