Kindergarten Round-Up

The annual Kindergarten Round-Up for 2012-13 kindergarten students will be March 26 - 30, 2012 at Sharon Community Presbyterian Church, adjacent to Moon Area's secondary schools campus.

Registration for each building will be done on assigned days according to where your child will attend classes. 

Round-Up dates for the specific buildings are as follows:
Monday, March 26:      Bon Meade
Tuesday, March 27:     Bon Meade & McCormick
Wednesday, March 28:  Brooks
Thursday, March 29:    Allard
Friday, March 30:       Hyde

Appointments are mandatory. See Registration information below.

The event allows parents to meet kindergarten teachers and staff while registering their children for kindergarten. Children who have attended private kindergarten or kindergarten in another district are also welcome to attend Round-Up to register for first grade.

During this event, we will check the children's hearing, speech and vision. A basic assessment will be administered by the Round-Up team. This tool will provide information about your child's development. Parents will be asked to complete necessary forms while their child is being assessed. Your child will be taken through the screening process by a Round-Up helper. Certified district personnel will administer the screenings and assessments.

To most accurately assess the children, parents are not permitted in the screening areas. There will be no exceptions. It is advised that parents explain to their children that they must go to the screening process alone. Children who are unable to separate from parents will not be screened. Parents will receive the information from the screenings several weeks after Round-Up concludes.

Children must be five years of age on or before September 30 for entry into kindergarten for the school year. Children must be six years of age on or before September 30 to enter first grade for the school year.
