Kindergarten Enrollment is Now OPEN!
Did you know that people who speak more than one language have improved memory, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, enhanced concentration, ability to multitask, and better listening skills?
Our Spanish Immersion program at Poston Road Elementary allows students the opportunity to learn Spanish through their daily subject areas all while mastering the same academic standards required by the state as the non-Spanish Immersion students. At the elementary level, the program begins in kindergarten and goes through fourth grade.
We are now enrolling kindergarten students for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before October 1, 2023.
