Kindergarten Readiness Camp
Created by Ready for School and delivered by teachers, Kindergarten Readiness Camp combines the routines of a typical school day with play to build the academic and social skills that kindergarten teachers say they want to see in their students. When a child is curious, asks questions, and is comfortable in the classroom environment, it helps with being ready to learn.
- June 16 - July 31 at West Elementary
- FREE for all HPS families with a K-student enrolled in the 2025-2026 school year
- Breakfast and Lunch provided at no cost
- Transportation available
Beyond the camp, Ready for School delivers both english and spanish Home Learning Kits, which provide guides and engaging activities that lead your child toward success in kindergarten and beyond.
With children at the heart, it is Ready for School's mission to see that all children in our community reach kindergarten more confident, INSPIRED, and ready.
