New Families

 

 

Welcome to the Shamrock family! This page is full of helpful info as your family begins their journey at SGE.

 

Beginner's Day

Beginner’s Day is a day held at the end of spring for incoming kindergartners and their families so they can get to know the teachers and staff, and learn more about what to expect at SGE. Check our PTA Calendar for dates. 

 

Summer Play Dates 

Social events held during the summer, hosted by the PTA, at nearby neighborhood parks. These events are a great opportunity for new and rising Kindergarten families to get to know each other.  Check our PTA Calendar for the 2023 Summer dates.
