Kindergarten is an exciting and important time in a student's life, as they will develop and grow many academic, social, and emotional skills that will lay the foundation for their K-12 journey.
We wanted to ask several parents why they chose Waconia Public Schools for their children. In this video, you can hear from those parents along with teachers and students about the Kindergarten experience in Waconia. Enroll today: isd110.org/enrollment
Everything we do at Waconia Public Schools, ISD 110, is focused on creating opportunities for students to explore their passions and create their success. With dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and a community that values quality education, we are able to provide authentic learning experiences for all students. Let's go Wildcats!!!!
