If your child turns 5 between August 2 and December 31, and you want your child to attend kindergarten
that year, you can have him or her tested for early entrance. Call April Bray at 492-2520
by August 1st to find out more
about Early Entrance Testing. Only children who pass this test and
prove to be a good candidate for entering school early according to the
Acceleration Policy will be eligible to start kindergarten in the fall.
If your child turns 5 after December 31, he or she is not eligible to apply for Early
Entrance Testing, and must wait to enter kindergarten until the following fall.
If your child is 6 by June 30 and has not attended any
school, you may apply for permission to
have your child “skip” kindergarten and go directly to the 1st
grade. He or she will need to be
tested by your school district. Call your district’s Kindergarten Testing office at 492-2520 to make an appointment.If your child passes the test, he or she may enter 1st
grade. |
