Parents of incoming kindergarteners are invited to an orientation meeting with the Westport public school officials Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at each of the town’s public elementary schools.
As this is an informational meeting with the principal, parents are requested not to bring children to this session, according to a school announcement.
A special program for children is planned for later in the school year after the official registration period, scheduled for Monday, May 2.
To be eligible for kindergarten in September, 2005, children must reach their fifth birthday on or before Jan. 1, 2006.
Only Westport residents may attend Westport public schools. Residents unsure of which school their children will attend may consult the district Web site, www.westport.k12.ct.us.
A button marked Elementary and Middle School Districts by StreetӔ leads to the site where a click on a street name reveals the correct elementary and middle school district.
Westport kindergartens are on an extended dayӔ schedule, meeting for 4 hours and 45 minutes each day, in morning sessions only. Children have lunch at school.
