In almost all cases, having a cutoff date of September 1 is in the best interest of students entering kindergarten. However, if a parent and preschool teacher believe that a child with a later birthday is ready for kindergarten, they may request a screening at Jubilee. Approval must be given by the Principal for admission in such cases. Parents would then need to sign a statement affirming their understanding that any subsequent transfer to a public school setting may involve enrollment issues at a later grade level.
