Scoops of Smiles

The School District of Indian River County is excited to welcome future kindergarteners and their families to Scoops of Smiles Kindergarten Kickoff, a districtwide open house designed to celebrate the first step into elementary school.

Families with preschool aged children are invited to explore classrooms, participate in hands on activities, and experience playful learning environments that showcase what kindergarten has to offer. During the event, families will have the opportunity to connect with teachers, learn about enrollment, and gain helpful information to prepare for the upcoming school year.

The evening concludes with a fun Ice Cream Sundae Social to celebrate this important milestone. No registration is required.
