Today was a big day for our PreK students as they attended their very first day of school. Their eyes were sparkling with curiosity and excitement and we loved watching them make new friends, explore learning stations, and dive into imaginative play. Here’s to a wonderful adventure full of learning, laughter, and endless possibilities! We know they’re going to do great!

In an effort to enhance safety and streamline traffic flow around Jefferson Elementary School, the City of Arkansas City has started implementing changes as suggested by a recent traffic study. These changes, which will be in effect at the start of the upcoming school year, affect parking zones and the relocation of a crosswalk in front of the school.

Our maintenance crew has been especially hard at work this summer designing, constructing, and installing PreK playgrounds. Each elementary school will have a new PreK playground soon if they don’t already. The playgrounds promote wellness and increase safety for our youngest students because the equipment is designed for their size and developmental needs. These playgrounds are also designed to provide our earliest learners with opportunities to develop social skills through active, creative play.
