A trip to the movies next month will double as a chance for Okaloosa County families to register their children for kindergarten or voluntary prekindergarten.
- The Okaloosa County School District is partnering with the Okaloosa Public Schools Foundation and the Early Learning Coalition of the Emerald Coast to host a free family movie afternoon on Sunday, Feb. 1, at Regal Cinemas Santa Rosa, 300 Mary Esther Blvd.
“Our goal is to make the transition to kindergarten welcoming, supportive, and engaging for families,” said Amy Dale, the district’s director of elementary curriculum.
The event begins at 2 p.m. and is open to families with children enrolling in VPK or kindergarten. Each household can receive up to three complimentary movie tickets along with a children’s snack pack. District staff and early learning partners will be on hand to assist with registration.
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Families are encouraged to pre-register through Eventbrite. Parent permission and adult participation are required.
