The Community Events Committee (CEC) would like to welcome you and your children to the wonderful Ben Franklin Academy Family!

Please accept this invitation to join us outside the preschool doors (northeast entrance) on the first day of school after you say good-bye to your new kindie for our traditional Boohoo Yahoo celebration. Whether you are sad (boohoo!) or celebrating (yahoo!), share this time with (and get to know) other kindergarten parents while enjoying some refreshments.

AM and Full-Day Kindies and Parents:
Please park in the overflow lot and meet at the front playground at 8:20 a.m. (Normal morning carpool ends at 8:15.) At approximately 8:30, everyone will be escorted into the building by staff to their respective classroom for a short transition program with your child’s kindie teacher. Afterwards, staff will escort parents outside via the preschool doors to enjoy the special reception.

If you have older siblings (1st-8th) please drop them off via the carpool line and, then, proceed to the overflow lot to park and meet at the playground.

PM Kindies and Parents:
Please park in the overflow lot and meet at the front playground at 12:20 p.m. At approximately 12:30, everyone will be escorted into the building by staff to their respective classroom for a short transition program with your child’s kindie teacher. Afterwards, staff will escort parents outside via the preschool doors to enjoy the special reception.

For this day ONLY, we will not require parents to wear their badges or scan IDs in the front office before you enter the school.
