Going to kindergarten is a big step that’s accompanied by riding the school bus for the first time.

Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 is inviting parents and new kindergarten students to participate in an orientation on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Orientation for both morning and all day kindergarten students will begin at noon and will end at approximately 12:30 p.m.

The district is also holding a make-up District-Wide Residency Event on Tuesday, Aug. 20 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. at Lake Zurich High School, 300 Church St., Lake Zurich.
