Kindergarten Orientation
In February, parents of incoming kindergarten students are invited to attend an informational evening.
During the presentation, parents hear relevant information from the principal, kindergarten teachers, nurse, secretary, PTO Co-Presidents and After School Director.
Following the presentation and slide show, parents have an opportunity to ask questions and tour the building. This parent orientation is designed to help to familiarize parents with our kindergarten program and to officially welcome parents to our school. The program is scheduled several weeks before kindergarten screening. At this meeting, parents are encouraged to sign up for an appointment for theirchild to be screened.
Kindergarten Screening
To enter kindergarten in September, your child must reach his or her fifth birthday by August 31st. Registration and screening for kindergarten is held in the spring. Parents are notified by mail of the actual date. The purpose of this state mandated screening is to identify any obvious learning problems so that appropriate services can be administered. Please bring your child's birth certificate, record of immunizations, list of illnesses, and information about any concerns.
