Kindergarten
Dear Kindergarten Parents,
Welcome to Global Village Academy Douglas County! We are thrilled to be teaching your son or daughter as they begin an exciting new year!
Balanced Beginnings for Kindergarteners
At GVA-DC we use a special transition process for our incoming Kindergarten students called Balanced Beginnings. Students' first days of school will be staggered, with small groups of students coming in each day.
Bringing in small groups of students, rather than the entire class, eases the transition into Kindergarten and allows teachers and students to build positive relationships, introduce the new environment and routines, and collect data as they begin their year with students.
Personalized letters will be sent out to families in early August with the date and time of their student’s first day of school.
