Late “Glee” star Naya Rivera’s son, Josey, is officially a first grader.
The 6-year-old’s dad, Ryan Dorsey, marked the milestone by sharing adorable back-to-school pics via his Instagram on Tuesday.
“Dear Summer, What happened? How’d you go so fast? Kindergarten just ended. Now we’re in 1st grade class!” the actor, 39, captioned it.
“My big boy. @joseydorsey I Love you so much!!”
In the social media slideshow, the little one proudly held up one finger while posing in a floral shirt, camouflage shorts and checkered Vans sneakers.
One of Rivera’s former “Glee” co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz commented on the post with multiple heart emojis.
When Josey graduated from kindergarten in June, Ushkowitz, 36, also sent him her “congrats” on the app.
“Can’t believe it but it’s officially ✌️out Kindergarten !!!!🧑🎓,” Dorsey captioned ceremony photos posted to his own account at the time.
“My baby boy is really a big boy now on his way to 1st grade?!” the “Justified” alum continued.
“I love you so much and you make me so proud to be your Dad! Upward and onward to the next chapter my little man!! ❤️.”
Josey was with Rivera when his mom tragically drowned at Lake Piru, Calif., in July 2020. The actress was put to rest three weeks after her death.
While marking the first anniversary of Rivera’s burial, Dorsey called their son “resilient” and “strong” in an emotional Instagram post.
“He’s doing ok,” the “Ray Donovan” alum wrote in July 2021. “He misses you but knows he’ll see you again, and the invisible string is something that’s helped us out during this ever-evolving transition.”
Dorsey, who was married to Rivera from 2014 to 2018, added that Josey was being “raised right” by “a lot of family and people around him that love him.”
