The Arlington ISD held a 'signing day' event Tuesday to encourage families to sign up for Pre-K and kindergarten.
, and to encourage excitement for families, the district held a “signing day” event for its youngest learners.
Sign-ups were held at Webb Elementary on Tuesday evening, but this “signing day” did not include star athletes committing to collegiate or professional sports. “Yes, just like what we do in the high school level,” Dr. Jackeline Orsini said. “This is where everything starts with the Pre-K and kindergarten. We are going to make sure all of our families in our school districts feel welcomed."
Orsini is the director of early childhood education at Arlington ISD. Registration opened on Monday with more than 700 sign-ups. The district had not calculated its total sign-ups including Tuesday, as of this writing.“As we were walking into the school, just the first four years of her life flashed before my eyes,” Juarez said. “I truly think that she will just hit the road running.”
Though Pre-K is not required in Texas, educators like Orsini strongly recommend it. Arlington ISD is in its first year of introducing a STEM curriculum for its Pre-K students as young as 4 years old.
