ENTRANCE AGE

In an attempt to permit children to enter school at the time most appropriate for them individually, the School Committee establishes the following policy on entrance age:

1. Children who will be five years of age prior to September 1st will be eligible to enter kindergarten for that school year.

2. Children who will be six years of age prior to September 1st will enter grade 1 for that school year.

3. Initial admission of children to kindergarten, first grade (or other grades) will involve a consideration of both chronological age and academic readiness.

Parents/guardians who are seeking an exception to the entrance age policy should make this request in writing to the building principal by May 1st. The principal in consultation with the superintendent and an appointed committee will be authorized to make these determinations.
