Short Pump Elementary School

For the upcoming school year, Henrico County Public Schools will implement a staggered start schedule for all incoming preschool and kindergarten students. The following schedule is the schedule for Short Pump Elementary School: 

Monday, August 24th

  • Preschool and Kindergarten students with last names A-L will attend school.
  • Preschool and Kindergarten students with last names M-Z will remain home.
  • All students in Grades 1-5 will attend.

Tuesday, August 25th

  • Preschool and Kindergarten students with last names M-Z will attend school.
  • Preschool and Kindergarten students with last names A-L will remain home.
  • All students in Grades 1-5 will attend.

Wednesday, August 26th

  • ALL students (Pre-K & K-5) will attend.

This staggered schedule allows our youngest Stingers to experience a more personalized transition into school while giving teachers additional time to build relationships and establish classroom routines before all students attend together.

Additional information and helpful resources to support your First Day preparation are available at Henrico County Public Schools Back to School website..

Enjoy your summer. We look forward to welcoming you back to school in August!
