Because there is a limited number of full-day kindergarten seats, a lottery is held to assign those seats. Transportation is not provided for full-day kindergarten children. To be considered for this program, you must be willing to make your own transportation arrangements and complete a lottery request when you register for half-day kindergarten. Lottery requests may also be submitted to the School Registration Center until Friday, June 1, 2001. Full-day kindergarten classes follow the elementary school schedule.
Children participate in the school breakfast and lunch programs.
Since kindergarten is a one-year experience and is not available at all schools, there is not a guarantee that a child can remain at the same school for grades one through six. In April 2002, all children go through the school choice process to enter the first grade in September 2002. Parents may apply for the full-day kindergarten lottery based on their zone address.
