It’s Kindergarten Registration Time

York Elementary School mailed information to eligible Kindergartners last week.  If you did not receive a packet in the mail, please contact York Elementary at (402) 362-1414.

According to Nebraska law, children are eligible to attend Kindergarten the year that they turn five on or before July 31.  This is called a “cut-off date.”  School districts are allowed to enroll a child who missed the cut-off date but turns five between August 1 and October 15.  Parents who are interested in enrolling their child early should contact York Elementary as soon as possible to ask about the procedure for early entry assessment.
