Kindergarten Information 

Kindergarten testing date is July 25th from 8:30-3:30. If you already registered your student for Kindergarten, you should have been contacted by a Kindergarten teacher for a testing date/time slot. If you did not receive communication, we will screen your child on another date or during new student/kindergarten registration on August 5th from 9:00-11:00.
