You and your child are invited to Kindergarten roundup! We will be asking your child to complete a few basic tasks and will use this information to determine the best placement for your child. This ensures that they receive the necessary instruction to make them successful next year. Once we have built the classes, we will contact you with an additional time when we would like you and your child to come see their classroom, meet their teacher, and ask any questions you may have about the upcoming Kindergarten year.
We will meet with your child and give them a quick assessment that allows us to place them with a teacher. You will be notified of placement on Wednesday, August 21st once we get all the data collected.
If you are unable to attend at your scheduled time, please come at the time before or after. Again, we look forward to meeting you and your child and are excited for the new school year to begin.
Kindergarten Jump Start
Deer Park Elementary offers four (4) days of Kindergarten Jump Start. This program is taught by DPE Kindergarten teachers with a focus on ensuring students have a smooth transition to kindergarten. Spaces are filled first by children that have not had preschool experience. Then we progress to first come, first serve. Students will be provided breakfast and lunch, along with busing to and from school.
If you are interested in your child participating in this program, please fill out the form linked below as well as New Student Enrollment packet (links provided above). Please note your child will need their vaccinations complete, a verification of age (birth certificate), and enrollment complete before attending Jump Start.
Application Deadline is June 3rd, 2024
Jump Start will take place over two different weeks - August 12 - 15, 2024 and August 19 - 22, 2024.
If you have any questions call 509 464 5600.
