Register for kindergarten preview with Batavia schools

Elementary schools in Batavia Unit District 101 will host Kindergarten Preview sessions on Thursday, March 2.

Parents of incoming kindergarten students are strongly encouraged to have their children participate in a session at their future school. To be eligible for kindergarten enrollment for the 2017-18 school year, children must be at least 5 years of age on, or before, Sept. 1, 2017.

Kindergarten Preview is a one-hour session during which prospective kindergartners participate in activities as a small group while being observed by teachers and parents.

During this time, the child's fine motor, cognitive, speech and language skills are observed. The session provides a positive kindergarten experience to incoming students and offers parents an opportunity to meet school staff members and ask questions. It is also the start of the school enrollment process.
