Education Spotlight — Page Unified School District Preschool Adds Elevate Pre-K. See more local, state and national education news here
Elevate Pre-K is designed, in part, to be a tool to help working families with young children return to the work force. One of the key components of the Elevate Pre-K program it that students are in school from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program is also year-round. This differs from PUSD’s preschool, which runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday. PUSD’s preschool also closes during the summer months on the same schedule as the rest of the school district.
“This allows working parents with young children a chance to return to the work force, knowing that their child is in a safe, caring environment,” said Beth Giacalone, Program Director of Northern Arizona Programs.

Education Spotlight — Supporting KinderCamp. See more local, state and national education news here
Supervisor Vasquez along with other County Supervisors helped support KinderCamp this year in response to a Coconino County Community Initiative (CI) application from KinderCamp. Supervisor Vasquez had the opportunity to tour Thomas Elementary School’s KinderCamp Program. KinderCamp is a crucial learning opportunity for new students entering Kindergarten. Students who participate in KinderCamp are ready to go day one in Kindergarten. Students who don’t get such prep take one to two months to acclimate to school. We are so lucky to have KinderCamp provided by a partnership between UnitedWay of Northern Arizona and the Flagstaff Unified School District. Thank you!
