2019 Kindergarten Round Up!
We have a list of children who will be eligible for kindergarten next year. If you have a child who will be turning five years old on or before July 31, 2014 but haven’t received a call, or if you know of someone new to the neighborhood, please let Mrs. Mininni know. Soon she will be sending out important information about our parent meeting as well as Round Up Day for the children.
Requirements for Early Admission to Kindergarten
In accordance with Nebraska Statute 79-214, the Westside Community Schools allows for
admission of children residing in the District as early entrance kindergarteners through a locally
designed testing program. Children of District residents who wish to be tested for early entrance
must turn five between August 1 and October 15, 2019. For further information regarding early
entrance to kindergarten, please call 402-390-3303.
Kindergarten Enrollment for Non-District Residents
If you live outside the District and have a child eligible for kindergarten who has a sibling currently attending a Westside elementary school through the Option Enrollment program, you must submit an Option Enrollment Application. Option Enrollment Applications must be received by Westside’s Office of Student Services no later than 4:00 p.m. on March 15, 2019. The application form is available at the ABC Building (909 S. 76th Street) and at westside66.org.
Under Option Enrollment statutes, first priority for admission is given to siblings who seek to
attend in the District where an older sibling is already enrolled, provided an Option Enrollment
form is submitted by March 15 and provided that there is space available in a requested building
and grade level.
