Welcome to Reeths-Puffer Schools

Kindergarten Registration

 

Kindergarten Round-Up

March 19 - Central Elementary

March 20 - Twin Lake Elementary

March 21 - McMillan and Reeths-Puffer Elementary

 

 

It's never too early to prepare your child for Kindergarten.  The reason to get a child ready is so he or she has a good start at "the big school." This time can be exciting and stressful for the whole family.  Children ask where they will be going and what they will be doing.  Parents have lots of questions too. Kindergarten Round-Up is the time to get those questions answered.

 

A new law has changed the entry age for Kindergarten students.
 

2013-2014 School Year 

A child who is at least 5 years of age on November 1, 2013 is eligible to enroll in Kindergarten. 

 

2014-2015 School Year

A child who is at least 5 years of age on October 1, 2014 is eligible to enroll in Kindergarten.

 

2015-2016 School Year

A child who is at least 5 years of age on September 1, 2015 is eligible to enroll in Kindergarten.

 

If the child is not eligible for Kindergarten enrollment per the guidelines specified but will be five years of age by December 1, the child's parent or legal guardian may enroll their child in Kindergarten through the use of a waiver that must be submitted to the school by June 1.  No waivers will be offered after June 1, 2015. 

 

Each elementary school in the Reeths-Puffer School District will hold a Kindergarten Round-Up.  Meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. with registration.  This is the time parents can turn in paperwork that is available a head of time (see right hand column) or you may pick up necessary paperwork at any elementary office.  A presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. introducing current staff, sharing information on transportation, food service, and a general overview of R-P's Kindergarten program.
