Turnpike Elementary School's Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Orientations will be held during the last week of August 2025. Both orientations will be "drop-in" style, so you may stop by Turnpike Elementary whenever it is convenient during the scheduled time blocks. You and your student should plan to be at the school for approximately 20 minutes.
