SCSD #1 Pre-K to Kindergarten Transition Book Program
Are you interested in providing your preschooler with free books?
Sublette County School District #1 invites you to join the Pinedale Early Childhood Transition Book Program. Each month, your preschool-aged child will receive a new book, along with a video of a Pinedale Elementary School staff member reading the story. This program is designed to foster your child's love for reading while helping them become familiar with some of the educators they will meet when they begin kindergarten next year.
This program is designed for children aged 4 to 5 years old who will be entering Kindergarten in the 2025-2026 school year.
* Each month, a member of the Pinedale Elementary School staff—such as the principal, nurse, janitor, kindergarten teacher, or secretary—will be recorded reading a book that is relevant to a child’s life. These videos will be shared with all local Sublette County preschools and emailed to parents.
​
* Every month, participating children will receive a copy of the book read by the elementary staff member. The Early Childhood Community Liaison will deliver the books to local preschools. Families not enrolled in a local preschool can pick up the books at Pinedale Elementary School on designated dates and times.
​
* The program will run from October 2024 through May 2025. By the end of the 2024-2025 school year, each child entering Kindergarten will have received a total of eight books.
​
* This initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for children and their families to familiarize themselves with key individuals at Pinedale Elementary School, helping to ease the transition from Pre-K to Kindergarten.
