Welcome Incoming Kindergarten Parents!

All of us at Limerick Elementary School are so excited to start working with your child. Please take some time to watch our "Virtual Kindergarten Orientation." A supply list will be sent out closer to the start of the school year. Make sure all of your contact information is accurate and up-to-date in Skyward so you don't miss out on important announcements. Once school re-opens, we will host a "Welcome to Kindergarten Open House" to help your child (and you!) get acclimated to Limerick.....more information to follow in August. In the meantime, if you have any questions please reach out to us.

Enjoy a relaxing and safe summer! See you soon.

We understand that this transition may be difficult, but please remember that your Spring-Ford family is here to support you as your family ease into this near learning style.
