MPS Kindergarten Open House Set | Events

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – With bright eyes and anxious anticipation, the graduating class of 2026 will get their first classroom experiences at the Montgomery Public Schools Kindergarten Open House on Thursday, January 31 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. All non-magnet MPS elementary schools will be participating. Superintendent Barbara W. Thompson says this is an exciting time for both children and their parents.

“I love watching students enter school for the first time,” said Superintendent Thompson. “Most of the time the parents are more nervous than the children.”

Each elementary school will offer tours and activities for students to help them feel at ease. Interim Assistant Superintendent Jason Lowe says he hopes every family who will have a student in kindergarten in August will come to the event.

“We will have an opportunity for both parents and students to get to know their school and their teachers,” said Assistant Superintendent Lowe. “We will have activities for the students and parents will get information on how to register and what a typical day in kindergarten is like.”

For more information, parents can contact their zoned elementary school or call the MPS Communication Office at 334-233-6761.
