The Whitko Community Schools District is committing to full-day kindergarten only, so it will now be available for all students. There will be no half-day kindergarten. You do not have to live in the Whitko School District to sign up for kindergarten at South Whitley Elementary School.
During the Kindergarten Round-up, each child will be taken through a series of simple readiness tests to help teachers plan for each student's individual needs. Students will be evaluated in gross and fine motor skills, language concepts, letter and number identification, hearing and high ability potential.
Parents will participate in an informational presentation conducted by Bruce Hansen, SWES principal, and other school staff members. The parents will complete school registration forms, as well as rating scales designed to assess the social and self-help skills of their child.
Parents will need to bring the child's immunization records and legal birth certificate to the Kindergarten Round-up. Call 260-723-6342 to make an appointment for one of the time spots or for more information.
