Kinder Info

Age Requirements:


In the State of Indiana, your child must be five (5) years of age on or before August 1 in order to be eligible for Kindergarten. 

Kindergarten Safety:

For his/her own protection and your peace of mind, your child should know his/her:

  1. Full name
  2. Address
  3. Telephone number 
  4. Names of family members

If your child walks to school, please be sure you have taught him/her the correct route between home and school, using sidewalks and crossing streets at corners. Your child should use this route every day. In the city, crossing guards are at some street corners. 

Transportation:

Kindergarten children will be assigned to attend an elementary school based on their home address or one of the transfer options. Transportation will be provided both to and from school for those kindergarten children who live outside the walk area for their school or attend an elementary school because of a transfer option, such as Kennedy Academy.
