WA-NEE KINDERGARTEN ROUND-UP 2021
To be eligible for Kindergarten, a child must be five years of age on or before August 1, 2021.
Kindergarten registration for Wa-Nee elementary students will begin on Monday, March 1. Parents must visit the
Wa-Nee website and complete an online registration form. That information will be distributed to the appropriate school who will send families an email confirmation with details on how to complete the enrollment process. Families with no internet access can contact the school to receive a registration form and more details.
Due to COVID restrictions, an onsite parent meeting will not take place this school year. Instead, a video link will be sent to families introducing you to the kindergarten teachers and other school personnel. This video will provide a glimpse of the daily activities and expectations for our kindergarten students.
Once the enrollment process has been completed, families will be contacted to schedule their child’s Kindergarten assessment. Teachers will be administering the assessment for our incoming kindergarten students at a later date. These assessments will be administered in a 1-on-1 setting.
The following items will also be necessary for completing your child’s enrollment process. These items can be emailed or dropped off at the school:
- Legal birth certificate from the County Health Department (hospital birth certificates are not permitted)
