Johnston County Schools is hosting kindergarten transition sessions for parents of children who will be attending kindergarten this Fall. The remaining sessions are scheduled to be held in the district's Title I schools on the following dates: Feb. 9 at South Smithfield Elementary; Feb. 16 at Meadow; Feb. 23 at Cooper Elementary; March 7 at Selma Elementary; March 9 at Wilson's Mills Elementary; March 14 at Four Oaks Elementary; and, March 16 at Glendale-Kenly Elementary. During these sessions, parents who attend before February 24 will learn valuable information about the kindergarten registration process. In addition, parents will learn about specific types of activities they can offer their children to get a "jump-start" on kindergarten and hear about the daily experiences of a typical kindergarten student. Dinner will be served, and an 18-minute movie for children on what to expect in kindergarten will be shown while the parent workshop is being presented. Reservations are required using a form sent home through the schools or by calling Sarah Thompson at 934-4361, extension 376.
