    NTPS has full-day Kindergarten at each of our elementary schools. If your child turns 5 on or before August 31st, they are eligible to start Kindergarten in the fall!

    The school year for our Kindergarten classes starts in the fall after the rest of the school has started (usually a few days later), to give time for teachers to make contact individually with Kindergarten families. These Family Connections, as we call them, are an important time for you and your child to meet your teacher, learn about the classroom, and see how it all works. Welcome to North Thurston Public Schools!
