Prospective Shoreline Schools families can visit kindergarten January 13

January is kindergarten month for Shoreline Schools. Families can visit a classroom, attend Kinderfest, and register their child.

Shoreline elementary schools will be open to prospective families for kindergarten classroom visitations on January 13 at 9:30 am in advance of Kinderfest and kindergarten registration later this month.

Kinderfest is an opportunity for families who will be enrolling their children in kindergarten to hear about the kindergarten program offered by the Shoreline School District. Kinderfest will be held Saturday, January 29, 2011 from 10 am to 12 noon in the Shoreline Room at Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE.

Kindergarten registration for Shoreline residents with students starting kindergarten in the fall of 2011 will begin on Monday, January 31 at all elementary schools. In order to attend kindergarten in the fall, a child must be five years old by August 31, 2011.

For students living outside of the Shoreline School District, kindergarten registration will also begin on Monday, January 31. Registration and boundary request paperwork must be submitted to the Instruction Department of the Shoreline School District at Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE. The office will be open between 7:30 am and 6 pm that day.
