KinderCONN is a series of summer playgroup events for rising Conn kindergartners and their families to make friends, ask questions, and build our CONNmUNITY before the start of the school year. All base and magnet families are welcome to attend, and all CONNtrepreneurs get to bring home their very own yard sign to show their school spirit! 2025 summer playgroup dates and locations are listed below. We hope you will join us!

Conn PTA knows the start of the school year can be a mixed bag of emotions for students and families alike, so we work with our school teachers and staff to prepare materials to manage both your TEARS AND CHEERS! At kindergarteners' Meet the Teacher -- Friday, August 29, 2025 -- grab a goody bag on your way into school.
