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.
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!!!!
