Kindergarten meetings set in District 206

Talk about it

Registration dates for kindergarten have been scheduled by Alexandria School District 206 for the 2010-2011 school year.

All parents of prospective kindergarten students are invited to attend a parent and information meeting at their child’s school. Special presentations are planned at each elementary school site. Registration and other materials will be available.

Kindergarten students do not need to attend this first meeting; they will be invited to other planned activities prior to the start of school.

To be eligible to enter kindergarten, a child must be 5 years old by September 1, 2010. The all-day, every-day kindergarten program will be the program provided for all kindergarten students in District 206 for the 2010-11 school year. The program is free and will be offered at all district elementary schools.
