    Enrolling in Kindergarten

    If you are working with èßäapp¹ÙÍø to develop an IEP for kindergarten, because your child received preschool special education services and has an IFSP, your child will be enrolled automatically in your neighborhood school. You will be able to verify demographic information and upload required verification documents at the end of summer through ParentVUE. If you are granted enrollment into an immersion program or èßäapp¹ÙÍø school other than your neighborhood school your students enrollment will reflect that change.

  • Transition to Kindergarten

    The Early Childhood Team supports children and families through transition - the move from Early Childhood Special Education services to Kindergarten. This process happens during the school year before the child attends Kindergarten.

    The team reviews the child's eligibility for special education and provides any additional evaluation that may be needed. Families are provided information about the process of transition from preschool to school-age services and opportunities for school choice.

    The Kindergarten program is provided current information about the student. Successful teaching techniques and materials can be shared with receiving teachers or programs.
