MONROE, CT — Monroe’s public elementary schools will host Incoming Kindergarten Screenings this April to provide an opportunity for children to engage with staff at their home school, and allow the team to get to know their incoming students, while helping them feel more comfortable in their new environment.
Parents will also have the chance to meet the principal, teachers and staff.
To participate in the Kindergarten Screening, children must be registered for kindergarten. Parents of children who will be attending must complete the registration process. Once registered, you will receive additional details about the screening day from your child’s school.
