25-26 Kinder Kick-Off
July 31 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Welcome 2025-2026 EVCA Kindergarten Families!
We would like to invite you to attend our Kindergarten Kick–Off on Thursday, July 31st!
This is the necessary time for you to bring your kindergarten student in for some quick assessments of their basic academic skills. These assessments allow us to evenly place each student with their new teachers prior to the start of the school year. Please note this is not an 8:00-12:00pm event; your student only needs to arrive at the time listed on the flyer that corresponds with your student’s last name. We are requesting that you, or another guardian, stay with your student for the duration of their assessment window – please do not drop off your student.
Last Names A-F 8:00 am
Last Names G-M 9:00am
Last Names N-R 10:00am
Last Names S-Z 11:00am
The kick–off will take place in Independence Hall.
Further directions to the Kick–Off location:
Arrive at EVCA, 110 State Hwy 344, Edgewood, at your student’s specific assessment time. Park in the West (“Visitor Lot”), you will then enter directly through the front gate, and to your left-hand side will be the double glass doors that will bring you to the EVCA Front Office. You will be directed to Independence Hall at that time. There will be exterior construction occuring at the time of the event, and the East side will be closed to all traffic – we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Your student’s assessments should go relatively quickly as they will be set up in stations – multiple teachers, educational assistants, and our reading interventionists will be there to administer each assessment.
Parents and guardians will not be told their Kinder classroom placement on the day of the event; you will instead receive a communication the following week with information about your student’s assigned teacher.
Please make an effort to attend the Kick–Off to ensure all students are placed accordingly.
If you have questions, please email our Executive Director, Jennifer Rowan, at
We are looking forward to seeing you all on July 31st!
