The public is invited to visit the Westminster Avenue Elementary School, a Venice landmark since 1905, for an Open House during the academic day on Thursday, April 12, from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

Visitors can tour the tree-lined campus, the newly renovated auditorium and library, two computer labs (PC platform and Mac platform) and watch academic rigor in classrooms.

At 2:30 p.m., the Westminster kindergarten teachers will offer an informative presentation and question-and-answer session about the all-day kinder’ program that feeds the community and magnet schools. Westminster’s plans for new playground equipment will be unveiled, the grant-funded school garden will be open, and office staff will be available for guided tours.

Kindergarten teachers will be handing out free “Preparing Your Child for Kindergarten” packets, including expectation checklists and a handwriting guideline sheet. Packets will be available in both English and Spanish.

For more information, call (310) 392-3041.
