There will be no school for Garfield Early Childhood Center students and kindergarten students in Garden City Public Schools on Friday, August 28, 2026. The district will hold Ages and Stages Parent Teacher Conferences during the day for parents of students in those grades at the schools. School will be back in session on Monday, August 31st, for all classes.
Parents will answer a questionnaire about things their child can and cannot currently perform. The form includes questions about their child’s communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social skills. The Ages and Stages screener is state required and will provide a developmental snapshot approach to look at Kindergarten Readiness for students.
Parents will receive important information regarding academic expectations from the teachers. They will also receive information on helping their child in their learning development at home.
The mission of Garden City Public Schools is to deliver an unparalleled educational experience for our students, staff, and community.
