Welcome 2025-2026 Prospective TK Students!

Parents, if you would like to know how to prepare your student for school, the best thing you can do is have your student practice:

+Opening and closing their backpacks and lunch pails

+Washing hands

+Pulling up and down their pants for potty time

+Opening their snacks and waters.

Academic skills will come with practice, but practicing the above skills would be greatly appreciated!

Orientation will be on Friday, August 1st. (More details to come!)

Gionet Family

Mrs. Gionet

Hello from Transitional Kindergarten!

I love being a teacher and am embarking on my 11th year with the Etiwanda School District. It is my passion to create lifelong learners. My son is a current Lightfoot Leopard; believe it or not, I went to Lightfoot Elementary too! I enjoy reading, visiting the San Diego Zoo, exploring new places, and hiking with my husband and son. Our dog is a senior, so he is more interested in napping nowadays. I look forward to meeting you.

Please feel free to reach out via the Etiwanda District app or email.

**The app is able to translate all communications if necessary.
