Mary A. White Update

Following a recent district announcement, Mary A. White Elementary will be transitioning to an early learning center next school year. In addition to preschool programming for three- and four-year-olds, the new early learning center will include our GHAPS Young Fives programming.

Whether your family plans to sign up for kindergarten, Young Fives, or you are uncertain which will be best for your child, we are encouraging all families to attend Kindergarten Roundup at their home elementary school since this will be the school they will attend after Young Fives. Open house events for Young Fives students will be announced as further details are finalized.
