Eugene School District 4J

We’re excited to welcome our youngest learners to school this fall through 4J’s Kindergarten Smart Start program!

This special start to the school year is designed just for kindergarteners. With smaller groups and time to connect with families, teachers can get to know your child—their unique strengths, personality, and needs—right from the beginning. Kindergarten Smart Start helps create a smooth, supportive transition into school and sets the stage for a joyful and successful year ahead.
