St. Joseph's School follows state, diocesan and local public school regulations that require a child to be five years old by September 1st to enter kindergarten and six years old by September 1 to enter first grade. Similar guidelines will be followed for preschool programs. Children must be three by September 1st to be enrolled in the three year old program and four years old to be enrolled in the four year old program. The school administrator will make the final decision on early entrance and inform the parent in writing of the decision. All new students must show proof of proper immunization according to Wisconsin law.
Forms are available from the school or local health department.
Kindergarten Screening Students must be screened before entering kindergarten. St. Joseph School offers a screening program in the spring of the year. All incoming kindergarten students are to participate. If a child misses the St. Joseph screening or further assessment is needed, then parents are asked to have their child attend the Menomonie Public School screening program. Copies of the results from the Menomonie District or other school screenings are to be sent to St. Joseph School prior to admission.
