Can we talk kindergarten?

sajigirl · February 2011

Since I am a clueless mom. Do I have to register Nolan for Kindergarten and if so do I have to do it now (this point in the year)? I don't want him going to the school we are slated for because everyone has told me to get him into another specific school. So I guess I have to do that too. I swear, I don't know how this stuff works. I can't believe he is going to kindergarten next year! Is there a nice easy website that explains everything to me? Thanks

Open house for Christopher for Kindergarten was last week, Even though he goes there for preschool he needed to register. It is an all day kindergarten in a catholic school. I would imagin the sooner the better, especially if it's all day. It may fill up.

Yes you have to register them for Kindergarten. In our town they do it at a certain time, I think it was early spring, but if you are looking to get him into a different school then the one he is districted for I would call the school to find out what you should do...

Does he go to pre-school? If so, they should have given you a head's up as to when registration is. Ours was about 2 weeks ago. It was only a 3 day window. So, you may want to check ASAP as to when it is. You can either call your city/town hall or ask your pre-school, or call the school you're districted for.

In our city they hold a lottery if you choose to send your child to a school other than the one their districted for.

You live a few blocks away. Are they telling you to avoid Highlands and go to Rhodes? We're districted for Rhodes, thank god.

how do you know what school your child is supposed to go to? Where I live we have 2 elementary schools not sure which one dd is supposed to go to when it comes that time. Its still 2 years away.

Yup, exactly. Everyone (neighbors, other parents at his school etc) have said go to Rhodes so I guess I have to figure out how to do that. Why can't it just be easy??

Our town sent out the info last week about Kindergarten registration. It is usually listed in local papers and on district websites. I can't speak for all districts, but in MOST districts unless there is a really good reason, you go to the designated district school. We have a few people change because of daycare issues, where they daycare is located in the location of a different school than they are designated for. Otherwise, people would all choose to change the school their child goes to and you wouldn't be able to handle it.
