Walker Kindergarten Parents,

We are looking forward to the first day of school on August 15th. Here are the new school hours at each level.



Hello Walker Families, Springdale elementary students will be released early on Wednesdays at 1:50 pm so that teachers have collaborative team meetings. This time will allow all district teachers to be part of a Professional Learning Community. The communities will provide educators with time to work together to focus on student achievement and data that shows which students are progressing academically and which may need additional support. The Springdale School district created a great video that explains collaborative team meetings. To watch this video, go to https://www.sdale.org/page/early-out If you need child care on Wednesdays, the After School Program will provide extended child care for elementary and middle school students who are enrolled in the program on Wednesdays at no additional cost to families. To enroll your child in ASP, click on this link. https://www.afterschoolprog.com/enrollment/
