Do you live in Winooski and have a child who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2023? Sign up now for the Winooski School District Kindergarten Screening Day, an important first step to sending your child to school!
Kindergarten Screening Day will take place on April 5th, 2023 with sessions scheduled throughout the day.
To sign up for a session, please call the JFK main office at (802) 655-0411
At least one parent or guardian will need to attend with their student. When students and families arrive at Kindergarten Screening Day, we will have a short welcome and staff will be introduced. After introductions, the students will go to one of our Kindergarten classrooms with the Kindergarten teachers and other JFK staff to play and complete some academic screenings. The screenings look at students’ play, engagement, social skills, number and letter knowledge, and fine motor skills. We know that these screenings are just a snapshot of who your student is as a person and learner.
While the students are in the classroom, the families will participate in a welcome to JFK overview presentation, complete registration, and fill out a sheet that tells us all about your student. Please bring your child’s birth certificate, updated immunization records, and proof of residency to the appointment.
If you are not able to attend on April 5th, please call the JFK main office to inquire about other options for completing this necessary step to sending your child to Kindergarten.
After attending Kindergarten Screening Day, JFK Elementary staff will begin working on placing your student in a Kindergarten class for the 2023/2024 school year. You will be contacted in August with information about who your child’s teacher will be.
