Bridging the gap between parents and the school is the goal of a new positition at a local district.
Warrensburg-Latham schools have hired a pre-kindergarten educator to be available to parents of the youth. Dr. Kristen Kendrick-Weikle explains the position hopes to be a support for parents of first time school kids.
According to Dr. Kendrick-Weikle, the educator will also be available to help with the transition to a full day of kindergarten.
The district participates in the Federal Pre-K program and Dr. Kendrick-Weikle indicates it is their recommendation to have this kind of support. She also points out the position is a part time position.
