ERVING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN Although this school year has barely begun, we are already planning for the upcoming 2012 – 2013 school year. We are beginning to develop a potential class list for both preschool and kindergarten eligible children. Preschool age children must be 3 years of age by September 1st in order to be eligible to enroll and kindergarten children must be 5 years of age by September 1st. In order for your child to be eligible to enroll in the Erving Elementary School for the 2012 – 2013 school year, all parents/guardians must notify the school by February 1, 2012. The school has been sending out letters to notify parents of this procedure. If you have not received a letter, please contact Michele Regan-Ladd, Early Childhood Coordinator, as soon as possible at 413-423-3326, ext. 321. Please leave a message with your name, your child’s name and date of birth, your address, and phone #. Michele works ½ day per week, alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
If parents have any concerns about their child’s development, you may call the school to request a developmental screening. The screening is a short assessment that looks at a child’s speech/language, small and large muscle coordination, and preacademics, such as knowledge of colors, counting, and sorting. Please call Michele Regan-Ladd, Early Childhood Coordinator, if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s development and she can set up an appointment. 413-423-3326, ext. 321.
If your child is younger than three years of age, you may wish to speak to your pediatrician about any concerns about your child’s development or call the REACH Program, which is an early intervention program for children ages Birth to 3 years of age.
