Thinking about applying through the lottery for your child? Every year we have an additional 10 seats for Kindergarten (or more), which helps your chances of getting accepted! Breakthrough South Kindergarten is a full-day program with a great balance of academics and play-based learning. Our students are able to take Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education, as well as Mindfulness! And there is bus transportation available for Gr. K and up!

Mrs. Stephanie Sortman - K Teacher Room 115

Ms. Nora Dachille - K/1 Teacher Room 119

Ms. Nikki Kurtz - Gr. 1 Teacher Room 117

Ms. Melissa Bernardez - Gr. 1 Math & ELA Teacher for the K/1 combo class

The Kindergarten school day will be from 8:30 am to 3:45 pm. OPMAD will provide before-care from 7:15 - 8:30 am and after-care from 3:30 - 6:00 pm. Fall OPMAD applications for before and aftercare are available in the main office. Please see Ms. Liz or Ms. Mayra.

Cobalt blue or white collared shirts with logo.
Black, navy, or khaki bottoms (leggings and sweatpants acceptable for easy access for potty)

Parents will report to the patio doors of their child's classroom between 3:30 pm - 3:45 pm (and between 12:15-12:30 pm on Early Dismissal Days). Please do not come up to the patio prior to those times as teachers are not permitted to dismiss students early without authorization from the main office. If you need to dismiss early please come to the main entrance and dismiss your child directly through the main office. (Please note: Dismissals between 3:00 and 3:30pm need to be scheduled ahead of time please send a Parent Square message to Mrs. Ayala by 12:00 pm to report an early dismissal) If you are picking up from OPMAD after care, they will inform you of the dismissal process.
