Kindergarten Roundup (at Edgeworth)

Prospective kindergarten students and their parents or caregivers are urged to attend Kindergarten Roundup. Children who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2019 can be registered for kindergarten during roundup. Parents or caregivers should make appointments for one of the days by calling Diane Hess at the Quaker Valley School District Office at 412-749-5095. Appointments last approximately 30 minutes and are scheduled between 8 a.m.- 2:45 p.m.

There will be an informational meeting for parents on February 13 at 6 p.m. at Osborne Elementary School. Registration packets will be distributed at this meeting.

Kindergarten Roundup provides an opportunity for parents and children to lay the groundwork for a successful kindergarten experience. Parents or caregivers and prospective students will meet a kindergarten teacher for preliminary readiness screening and tips for working with students before and after school begins; an assistant school nurse to record immunization and health information and answer questions about individual health problems in the school setting; a guidance counselor to answer questions about school and discuss developmental concerns; a parent representative to discuss parent/school partnership and opportunities for parent involvement; and a librarian to advise on book selection and fostering an appreciation for literature.
