What’s this all about? Kinder Konnection began in the fall of 2013. Its purpose was, and still is, to allow prospective families and students a hands-on opportunity to learn about the Redeemer Lutheran School Kindergar ten Program. At Redeemer, our staff and teachers enjoy using play as a unique way to learn. What better way to learn about Redeemer than through a fun, family-oriented event, that invites and welcomes the whole family as well as friends? !We are privileged to open our doors and invite you and your family to attend Kinder Konnection. Please sign up today to join us and bring your prospective Kindergartner! Consider inviting family members, f r iends, neighbor s and other prospect ive kindergartener families that you may know by sharing the sign-up URL: www.redeemerschool.net !

Four opportunities to attend At Redeemer, we understand and appreciate that many parents and families have very busy schedules. We have scheduled four opportunities for parents to attend Kinder Konnection. Each session is approximately one and one-half hours in length. !Redeemer does offer ongoing personalized tours, as well as shadow days, for children as well. If Kinder Konnection does not fit into your family’s schedule, please consider contacting Redeemer Lutheran School to schedule a tour by calling (512) 451-6478 or e-mailing lwhited@redeemer.net. !

Why Now? While kindergarten may seem like a long way off, the year tends to go by quickly. Many private schools in the Austin-area start their official enrollment season in January. Families need ample opportunity to visit and learn about schools. Now is the best time to start.

Preparing for the 2016-2017 school year!
