2006-07 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION PROCESS     

Children who will turn 5 before should contact their local school to register for the 2006-2007 school year. Registration is underway now and classes are filling up.

In Burlington, because our population shifts, we have set up sister schools for each of our elementary schools. This means if the class enrollment in your local school exceeds capacity, your child may be reassigned to its sister school. A sister school model helps us to keep class sizes balanced by allowing students to move between the two schools. If one school has kindergarten numbers that are too high, some students from that school will attend a nearby "sister" school.

We delay assigning schools in order to balance the classes at each school and to provide every child with a classroom that can meet the needs of all the students. Following the spring registration, the sister schools and the superintendent's office look at class sizes and make preliminary assignments by early June. Students who register after that date are assigned according to space available. We do everything we can to accommodate both physical addresses and sibling placements. And we do finalize placements as quickly as we can to allow parents and schools adequate time for planning.

If you have questions, please contact your school principal or the office of the superintendent at 865-5332.
