There will be a Kindergarten Information Night available for families to attend on March 6th, 2025 at McQuerry Elementary.  Incoming kindergartners will do an activity in a kindergarten classroom, while parents get useful information about the school.

All children who will be 5 years old on or before July 31st, 2025 are eligible for kindergarten.  Every child will need to go through the screening/enrollment process.
