KINDERGARTEN ADMISSION PROCEDURES

 

If you desire an application contact Genetta Holt at (520) 297-0922 or e-mail at genettah@casaschurch.org.

CCS Kindergarten is a full-day, academic Kindergarten; therefore, Casas Christian School has a number of policies that apply only for admission to this particular grade level.  These policies are listed below:

Students entering Kindergarten must be five (5) years old by September 1 of the current school year.  Students born later than that date are not permitted to enroll.  (Casas Christian Preschool has a special program, KinderBridge, for children missing the September 1 deadline.  Call the preschool for information, 520-297-0393, or contact www.casaschristianpreschool.com.

Students may register for enrollment according to the priority system as outlined in the general admission policies, but enrollment is not guaranteed until the following is completed:

  • All students and parents must participate in our Kindergarten Readiness Roundup.  Your child will participate in small group exercises simulating a classroom setting.  The purpose of this session will be to determine whether applicants have the readiness skills to begin Kindergarten.

  • While the children are in these activities, both parents are required to meet with a school administrator for a group orientation explaining CCS purposes, objectives, and programs. 

  • The week after the Roundup, parents will be contacted about their child's eligibility to begin class at CCS in the fall.  The decision of the CCS staff is final in eligibility considerations.

  • Dates for the Roundup this year will be Saturday, March 29; Saturday, April 12; and Saturday, April 26.  CCS will host a Kindergarten Open House for parents on Thursday, February 28.  Please reserve these dates.  Students cannot be enrolled into Kindergarten without participating in one of these Roundups.  (If a student enrolls after April 26, another Roundup will be scheduled later in the year.)

  • All the necessary paperwork (application form, emergency form, immunization form, student health forms) and fees must be completed and paid before a student will be invited to the Kindergarten Roundup.  If a student is determined ineligible to enroll after our staff evaluation, the registration fee will be refunded.  The application fee will be retained to cover the expense   of the Roundup process.

Students in the Computer LabAll new students are accepted on a nine-week probationary status.  With young children, such as Kindergartners, it is often difficult to predict how they will adapt to school.  If a problem surfaces after school begins, we will confer with you to determine the best solution for both your child and for our classroom.

All three Kindergarten classes meet Monday-Friday, 8:00 am -       2:30 pm.
