These skills are an extension of the core program, with an emphasis on play and exploration. Click HERE for additional information on the Kindergarten Enrichment Program.
Early Entrance to Kindergarten
The District has procedures in place to screen students who parents believe are candidates for early entrance to kindergarten. Board policies 6:130 and 6:135 detail these policies and procedures. All requests for screening should be made by April 1st, prior to the year the parent would like the student to start school. A fee of $50 is required, but fee exemptions are available.
