Student Insurance

Our school district has selected the Student Insurance Plan from K&K Insurance Group to make
reliable coverage available to parents. If you don't have other insurance, this plan may be a resource to
consider. Additionally, even if you have other coverage, this plan can help fill expensive "gaps" caused by
deductible and co-pays. Coverage may be purchased at any time during the school year by visiting www.studentinsurance-kk.com.

School Safety

*All doors to the main building are kept locked during the day with the exception of one of the main entrance doors.

*Our school is outfitted with an eletronic card access system. Teachers need to use their electronic keys to enter any doors of the building. We also have several cameras installed inside and outside the building that we can monitor from the main office.

Kindergarten Registration

Tuesdays and Thursdays

9:00 AM - 1:00 PM 

Your child must be five years of age by August 31, 2012 to register.

Please bring the following items for registration:

  • A certified copy of your child's birth certificate.

A Kindergarten Health Assessment Form will be given to you at registration.  This form should be completed by your child's health care provider and returned on or before the first day of school. 


Kindergarten Staggered Entry Plan

Your child will attend only one full day during the first week of school so that teachers can do an initial assessment. The goal of the initial assessment is to promote student success through early identification of developmental needs and styles to provide an academically stimulating program to all kindergarten students. All kindergarten students will be assessed in five areas: language and literacy, math, social-emotional, fine motor and gross motor development. The small group environment will also help ease your child's transition to kindergarten.

Please see the schedule below to determine what day, during the first week of school, your child will be attending.

Monday, August 26, 2013 A, B, C, D, E, F

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 G, H, I, J, K, L, M

Wednesday, August 28, 2013 N, O, P, Q, R. S

 Reading at Home


In order to succeed in the classroom -- and in life -- our children must develop strong reading skills at an early age. It's a process that happens at home as well as school. Parental involvement in encouraging a love of reading and good reading habits is essential!
WCPSS's Curriculum and Instruction Department has produced these eleven short videos to give parents some tips about how best to support their children as they develop into strong readers. Each video is one to three minutes long, and can be viewed using the free QuickTime Reader from Apple.
Becoming a Reader - an introduction
Reading Is Important - reinforcing the value of reading in our daily lives
Talking and Listening - having a strong foundation in spoken language
Reading Together - making it a daily routine
Introducing a New Book - engaging a child's curiosity before reading
What Happens Next? - stopping along the way to help the child think about it
Choosing the Right Book - selecting interesting, appropriate books
Join Right In - choosing books that allow a child to participate in storytelling
Same Old Story - understanding the benefits of a repeated "favorite" story
Acting It Out - helping a child translate words to actions
Never Too Old - reading aloud with a child who already reads independently
