Dear Parents & Families:
If your son or daughter is 4 years old by September 1st, 2025, they are eligible to attend 4-year-old kindergarten. However, 4-Year-Old Kindergarten is not required by the state of Wisconsin and therefore your child does NOT need to attend if you do not feel they are ready developmentally for any reason by the age of 4. They ARE allowed to start when they are five years old. We ask that you only send your child if you feel they are ready. Once your child is enrolled they will not be able to repeat, but instead will be moved onto Kindergarten. If you feel your child is ready for school please register online by February 28, 2025. We will be hosting a 4K Info. Event on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, from 4pm to 5pm. Please join us for this special evening AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE ONLINE REGISTRATION to meet the teachers, see the classrooms, talk about what 4K will look like, finish paperwork, and ask any questions.
By registering online your child will be signed up for the 4K program (Follow the 'How to Register for 4K' link to the right). It’s required by the state of Wisconsin, that the school verifies your child’s date of birth. We are not allowed to copy birth certificates, so please stop by our office, between the hours of 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m after you register online. Once you have completed online registration, your child's birth certificate is verified and you present proof of address (a utility bill, property tax bill, rental agreement), your child will be registered and added on a class list. Information regarding your child’s class placement and orientation information will be sent out over the summer. Our 4K program runs Monday - Thursday. We have an AM session from 7:55-11:05 and a PM session from 12:00-3:10. We also offer bussing to all 4K students unless they are open enrolled (special arrangements may be made by contacting our Transportation Director, Bryan Holman at 715-577-1199). Please see the links to the right for further information. We will have copies of the 4K Registration Forms in the office if you do not have access to a printer.
If you have any questions please email Mrs. Canfield, 4K Teacher by email or Mrs. Thomson, 4K Teacher by email. You can also call the Elementary School office at 715-877-1021. We look forward to working with you in the near future!
Thank you,
Mrs. Canfield and Mrs. Thomson
