EASTON — Superintendent Lisha Cabral and Blanche A. Ames Elementary Principal Sam Cederbaum wish to share information on the 2023-2024 kindergarten registration process.
A Kindergarten Parent Orientation Evening will be held March 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of Blanche A. Ames Elementary, 50 Spooner St. During the event, parents/guardians will receive student registration materials, meet faculty and staff, learn about the school, and get more information about the Kindergarten program.
Parents/guardians who are unable to attend the Orientation Evening will be able to access Kindergarten registration materials on the Blanche Ames Elementary website starting March 17.
Registration will take place March 30-31 and April 3-4 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Families are able to choose which registration date and time to attend. School nurses and secretaries will be available to collect registration materials and review all records.
Kindergarten screening will take place on the last three days of the school year, currently expected to be June 9, 12 and 13. Screenings, which are required by state law, are completed to identify children who might have a special need so that the school can provide for the child’s needs appropriately. Parents will also complete a Parent Input Questionnaire.
In July, families will receive a letter from the school regarding their child’s Kindergarten placement, teacher and other important information.
A “Get Acquainted Night” will be held on Aug. 30 for parents only. Families will learn about a typical day in Kindergarten and what to expect for the school year. An Open House for parents and students will be held on Aug. 31.
