Ready, set, Kindergarten! Grand Erie prepares to welcome the future class of 2036 with registration now open

THURSDAY, JAN. 6, 2022

Elementary schools across Grand Erie are ready to welcome the newest class of young learners next September, with Kindergarten registration now open. Parents of children who will be four years old by the end of 2022 will want to note timelines and required information to ensure a seamless start to their child’s schooling in September.

"Kindergarten lays the foundation for future success by building literacy and numeracy skills, promoting social and emotional development, and allowing children to explore, work together and contribute," said JoAnna Roberto, Director of Education. "As a result, children become confident, involved learners with a strong sense of who they are in the world."
