Meet & Greet Recap

Thank you to the families in attendance for our annual Meet & Greet. Students met their teachers and new classmates, toured various information tables in the cafeteria and learned about after school clubs in the media center. Your participation ensured a great start to the school year. Immediately following Meet & Greet, Kincaid PTA held its first general meeting of the year. The new executive officers were introduced and the 2022-23 budget approved. Kincaid Foundation also provided details about their mission, Family Investment Campaign and grant spending. This year's focus continues to be delivering quality programs that enrich student learning and have meaningful impact. 


Next General PTA Meeting will be Thursday, December 1, 2022; 6:30 PM at Kincaid Elementary

A special grade level performance will immediately follow. Details TBA.
