KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION & REGISTRATION INFORMATION

*Please contact your child's school to schedule a kindergarten screening appointment.  Thanks!

Please don't hesitate to call your child's school if you have questions about kindergarten.  Each new kindergarten student must be evaluated.  Please call your child's school to make an individual appointment for kindergarten registration.  In addition, Talawanda has moved to an electronic student registration process, and each family of a new kindergarten student will receive more information at the meeting on how to complete the electronic forms.  Please note the new system requires a working parent email, and staff at the elementary will work with parents on creating each new kindergartener's profile.

• Birth Certificate
• Parent should bring a driver's license/photo i.d.
• Proof of Residency (utility bill, rental agreement or offer to purchase, mortgage statement, deed, insurance declaration page, property tax bill)

FREE Full-Day Kindergarten

The National Education Association (NEA) indicates that full day kindergarten programs provide a solid foundation of learning for children from all backgrounds.  Full-day kindergarten programs ensure all students' academic, social, and emotional success as well.  Talawanda began offering FREE full-day kindergarten for the 2018/19 school year.  Students who receive the full-day option will gain additional instruction in science and social studies, along with music, art, physical education, and library time.  Full-day kindergarten is the preferred option among educators, however the law requires a half day kindergarten option be made available for any family who wishes to choose that option.
