Any child who will be 5 prior to Sept. 1 is eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall. Students who enroll in kindergarten benefit from the advantages of a developmentally appropriate program. Enrolling your child as soon as possible is a key step to being prepared for the school year, and helps the district plan for the number of teachers it will need to serve our youngest students.
