Paving the Path to Success: How GPS Helps Preschoolers Transition into Kindergarten
The journey into kindergarten marks a significant milestone in a child's life, and GPS understands the importance of preparing our preschoolers for this transition. Similar to the district's LevelUp and Next Level events, Pave the Path offers preschoolers an opportunity to become familiar with a kindergarten environment, helping to set students up for success in the next step of their educational journey.
