Kindergarten Jump Start Cancellation Update, February 2026
Due to a roof replacement project scheduled for the next two summers by the district, Lawton will unfortunately not be able to offer our “Jump Start” program for Kindergarteners in August. Kindergarten teachers will communicate with families assigned to their class via email in late August with information and directions for how to sign up for a required “Family Connections” meeting the first week of school (9/2 – 9/4). Kindergarten students do not attend school during this week, and their first day of school this year is Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.
